Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

I'd rather be the volunteer.
You know, the one sitting on the other end of the screen
typing out the words that will intervene
and save a life.
What a sad desire to think about.
Why? Well simply put
I'm usually on the other end of
such a deeply feeling spectrum.
For all the times I try to help
I ask for it ten-fold.
I've been the one begging
for a scrap of hope to hang onto.
And although I want so bad
to be able to reach out and pull people
back onto the tides of sanity
I still haven't learned how to swim well.
I doubt they'd let me try.
My head's just not there yet.
