UnComfortably numb

Hello
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts

Thus thought the raven as he flew
Although he knew
In just time soon
The human would be looking at him

With those same dull eyes that appear to be stitched into his flesh

The raven was back again this time with a different approach to the human 

I can help the human he thought
I can ease his pain
The reason he doesn't talk is because he is afraid. 
All he needs is a friend to tell
The stories of his hell

The raven sat on his fence but within distance of the human among the corn.

I can help you he squawked
I can help you
I can help you just tell me
I can help you if you open up

The human stood there motionless

Let me help you! The bird now getting angry
Let me help you!

The human just stood there behind his mask. The human refused help by simply doing nothing. 

The raven was furious at this point since he had thrown himself out of his comfort to help an enemy

Listen to me! You need help!

The human just stared back, arms straight out, body tilted to the side, straw hat.

The raven flew off. Hungry today not just because of no food but because he wanted to help and his help was not wanted. 

Could the human have gotten help if he wanted?

Among the Scarecrows, Fly on Raven
