[The subject of today’s Daily Prompt is the one word “Help”, and, thinking about it, I couldn’t “help” but remember the dark day last year I posted the piece below. I was overwhelmed at the outpouring of support I received, and I learned : there is a real community out here. To all who responded at the time: I’m grateful beyond my ability to express. – Owen]
Would Anybody read my words
Without the glossy images?
Does Anybody care if I
Am breaking down inside?
Within the world of Anybodies
I am but a virus;
A nobody to reckon with
Who lingers just outside
Does Anybody want to hear
My songs, my hope, my heartbeat?
Does Anybody fear the day
Or night that I’m denied?
My life is broken up and down
My way’s a cliff that’s high and sheer
But there’s not Anybody here —
Not even one
No body
Here
