Some People Are Not Helpable
It's sad to see them drown, but they don't take the raft
Some people are not helpable,
she is my relative
I know she has struggles,
financially, among others.
I live far away,
plus nobody can give others.
They can only share ways,
to earn for themselves.
Her son is sick.
I told her to share,
like people do in Instagram.
it feels less lonely,
you can learn too.
No response.
I told her to start write
her thoughts and feelings,
on online platforms —
Medium, Vocal Media, Substack.
No initiative.
She has body itching.
I might have answer,
I said,
it might be due to diabetes,
and being in menopause.
No desire to learn.
What can a person do?
I realized —
not every body is helpable.
Drowing in woe ocean,
some of us hold onto straw
given to us —
not all can be pulled out easily,
they have to find their path,
the hard way.
