Saving from waves

We are all on boats set adrift in the vast ocean called life.

Lately, I find that many people I know are sinking, most pushed over by overwhelming waves of emotions.

I wish to save them. But how?

Sometimes I feel like I'm too far away to reach out. I can only watch as they drown, completely powerless.

Many other times, I fear that by helping them, I’ll just become dead weight. What if I drag them under by accident?

People always say to help when one can. So I'll try. I'll try and try and try. If a method doesn't work I'll use another and another and another. I just want them to stay alive and not drown, so much that I'd rather be the one underwater in their stead.
