Notes About The Poem

When help is not enough

he's a seriously troubled soul
dwelling on regrets
they're eating him alive

things he can't forgive
hurts he can't get past
dreams he left afloat
cobwebs in his mind

his rambling thoughts
will drive him off the cliff
and sink him to despair
it's bordering insanity

i see him surely drowning
and there's nothing i can do
if he won't grab the buoy
