Helping Myself

what to do

what did I do

you flip flop

like paper 

in the wind


am I

good or bad

today?


no matter

I'm sure you'll 

let me know

with your tone


the pain in

my chest

is just proof

that it works


I sit

alone and wonder

what it is

something or nothing


but my brain cripples

my thoughts

can something come from nothing?

or am I 

missing something


like a word or a phase

that made this day

not ok


I'd try to fix it

if I knew what

it was


but why do I feel

it's not a fix

you're after


I can tippy toe 

around your shards

intel my toes bleed

still you refuse

to work with me


what  do I do

What did I do?

other than trying to help

but  I guess 

I was just 

helping myself
