Short Just Trying To Help Poems

Her eyes burning with hate
Anger fills her soul
Trying to help her will
Result in nothing but confusion
Everyone take notice in this:
Doomed is the soul satan dwells in...

His little silhouette
follows me from room to room
the curiosity kills him
and he takes the vacumn
from my hand
trying to help with housework
one day he will be a good helper 
and little chef...

I met a man today
Who said he's trying to help me
He wanted things to go my way
       Time he had not for me
       Things I needed to say
       If he had heard my story
Now I know, he wouldn't care anyway...

Tug of War
the three and four-year-olds had a terrific time
playing tug of war with a rope
all of them trying to help their friends
pulling a variety of directions
no matter what team they were on
hilarious to watch...

We are only trying to help you 
You are surrounded by darkness 
Keep messing around with narcotics 
And you will drown in sadness
Things will disappear bit by bit
The walls are caving in 
The little child needs you in his life 
Your situation appears to be acrid and grim...

She’s probably trying to help me,
But it just seems like she’s mean.
Get yelled at = no arrest
Put to work = money
Motivation? Nah cleaning = more play
But is this always?
Or is sometimes she actually being mean?
If she is, is it on accident or purpose?
If it is, is she sorry?
If not why?...

There is a battle going on,  it's truly life or death, 
But the enemy isn't easily seen,
It's between my spirit and my flesh. 

My flesh wants its own way, coveting the the things in this life,
Pride and ego only keeps my mind in constant strife.

Than there is God's Spirit trying to help me understand,  I was created in His image, my purpose is to love my fellow man....

I push you away like a kid swinging back and forth on a swing.
I love you so much but can't stop pushing you away from me.
Why do I push away the people that I love?
For it will only bring me more pain.

I wanna swing back and not go back and forth on a cold day.
So I will stop pushing and won't resist.
For they are trying to help me  not hurt me by letting me jump off the swing....

Others seem to have all of the answers
To the questions in your life.
Yet, still the significant others lives,
Are filled with mishaps.
Are they really trying to help you?
Well, perhaps they could be holding you back,
From approaching the finish line,
And all you have is one more lap.

There is nothing like a friend who is always by your side
trying to help or guide your way never to ask why
There is nothing like a friend to help you find your way
to drop by and lend a shoulder and on it you can cry
There is nothing like a friend to always make you smile
always to remind you that you make life what you want it
and together a friend will help you walk lifes long mile....

They scream assaults in their faces
Across the land in all places
Treat all law enforcement the same
When only the some are to blame
There are police with a good soul
Trying to help, in their work role
Dodging objects and spit their way
How do you think they sleep at night?
Told to stand down without a fight
We will not survive in this way
Without law and order today!

After multiple failed attempts at trying to help her she told me. 
"Don't take it personal." 
"I can't allow you to help me when i don't even know how to help myself yet." 
Finally then i understood, she didn't take help from others not because she was stubborn but because she was broken. 
Her strength to admit her brokenness made her stronger than she could see. She soon will be healed with herself....

What can you say,
to soften a hard heart,
when actions, and words,
can tear you apart.

Do you ignore,
or stand there, and cry,
asking yourself,
why, oh why.

Trying to help,
I do all I can,
wanting to bring comfort,
and offering my hand.

One day I will answer,
but for only myself,
not for the ones,
I have tried to help.

I pray for you,
I pray for me,
and the understanding,
we both need....

I met a slick hick
from the sticks
who gave me a hickey
beneath the hickory tree.

I faked hiccups
hoping he would flee
but he stood there
like a schmuck
trying to help
me stop the hiccups.

Oh, dear (hic) not again!
Hold your breath (hic)
and count to ten.
Standing on your head
(hic) works, I think.
Hold your nose (hic)
and take a drink.

I was ticked
because I couldn't trick him,
so I kicked him....

 The piano music is quieter now
He barely hears the tune
His mother’s right beside him
He wonders if she'll ever know
He was just trying to help
Trying to protect his father
Trying so hard
Just trying

He chokes out one last line
The light is dimming now
He wonders how it is, 
To die
He counts one last time
With his mother
Like they used to
One
Two 
Three
Four
Five
Six
 seven

CONFUSION SAY, -------

My mom is always trying to help.
She is of the opinion that most people,
would be happier if they could, ----------

She suggested this to me.

when we're tired and weary,
lean on Him.
so much that we have to do,
our journey must still go on.
lifting up each other,
trying to help as much as the other.
humility as a character:
begins to make us better,
helping us to be stronger,
toward a living testimony of support,
leaning with a purpose,
shared in our goals,
made truer in His plans.
throughout He has loved us and cared;
even, though there's miles to go,
we have each other's shoulders to rest on....

Over little mothers fret:
Their babies who still beds wet;
Lionesses in A Net!
Its stoppage they’d celebrate:
High time their doctor they met
And out their frustrations let…

And Doc begins to Mum pet,
Drying tear-filled eyes long wet:
Some placebo drug would get
And Fine Solution is set!

“Babes shall pee; I did no bet:
Time frees them from The odd Net
Only trying to help eyes wet”

Doctors’ Credit Alert get:
They won’t reject them, I’d bet!...

Do you ever feel as though you're drowning?
Caught in a riptide of emotions?

Do you ever lose sight of which way is up?
Spinning wildly out of control?

Do you ever feel as though you're the only one alive?
Or like you're a ghost among the living?

Do you ever cause pain to those you love when you're trying to help?
Like a fire that grew to large?

Well, I do.
I know how these emotions feel.
I wish I was the only one who ever had to feel this way...

Red's and orange green yellow and gold.
The colours of the Fall
unfold.
So many spring stories
Untold...


And I am
here
on a concrete steep...
trying to help some
young lost sheep.


"  The complexities of the modern world,
astound me man.  "
it was 10-10-10
just the other day.
I will not look the other way.
I will help that one
that went astray
so Help me God I cannot even
help myself...
Your colors are
austere today.

Hate, depression, and sorrow
wrap me in a shroud of darkness
suffocating me, making me feel empty
it hurts not knowing happiness
yet there is light, hope to help me through
why is this little light
this tiny bit of warmth
in all this cold 
how does it survive
why does it stay
is it trying to help
is it love, is that why it's warm
is it hope
is that why it's bright
or is it a person
I love in a manifestation of light
It's the girl I love and always will
MY LOVE...

Hard to look at yourself objectively
So very average in so many ways
But perhaps my heart is where I shine
A soft and loving image to portray

With empathy, my tears quickly come
Worrying about creatures big and small
Always willing to help whenever I can
Trying to help others when they fall

If I could I would change some things
A more beautiful face that might beguile
But I would never change my soft heart
Or my ability to make someone smile.......
