A person in pain, with a heart so sore
Makes choices that hurt, and leave scars galore
They act without thinking, in a desperate way
And cause trouble for others, every single day

They're like a drowning person, grasping for air
They'll cling to anything, without a care
They don't think of the harm, they cause to others
Only their own relief, from their troubled brothers

But their actions bring disaster, to those around
Hurt feelings, broken trust, and hearts unbound
They find a little peace, in their desperate deed
But it's at a great cost, to those who are in need

Their desperate choices, a cry for help in vain
Bring pain to others, and cause so much strain
Relief for them, but disaster for all
A sad reminder, of the dangers of a desperate call.
