Written Dec. 12, 2008: Attempt At Prayer

28 Nov

Grant me a wish to know that you hear,
answer a prayer cause you’re real;
today I’ll need it much more than most,
please acknowledge for what I appeal.
Prove that you’re not just an idea,
that you move mountains and heal.
Please oh God have mercy on me,
for I’m tired, worn, and broken.
Soothe the voice screaming inside,
of pain from the war within;
the voice that’s trapped, that’s weak,
oh how I beg just send a signal.
Someone to guide the way from the dark,
the place in which decisions not brought.
Something to calm my aching nerves,
from every demon fought.
My soul is weary from this race,
the race to stop my heart.
The race that’s shed what shoes I wear,
that leave the pads all bloodied.
The location within the people feared,
that I will be forever drowsy.
Lord, take me away, take me away,
away from the place so corrupt.
A place caused by people not own,
a cell of the pain and calamity.
A cell consumed with suppressed anger,
a cell of unshed tears.
This life’s been hard so lead the way out,
Lord just show that you’re here.
Relieve me of such harm and pain,
paint out the demons kept inside;
bring joy, bring neosporin,
to tend to the scar and scabs.
Bring rain to help with the dried tear ducts,
to cry out for the blank.
Have mercy on that beautiful girl,
after all she is your daughter
