how

how can i ask for help without being needy?
how can i be helped without asking for it?
how can i ask for help without being ashamed?
and how can i be helped without feeling worse?
 
i can’t do much
besides saying ‘hello‘.  
because with hello
you just need to shift a few lines
and it reads help.
 
i beg you to see me when i reach out
even if it‘s a hidden message,
I’m afraid.
