This Is All I'm Praying

I want to be happy
Laugh and never cry
I want to love my life
Instead of wishing I could die
I want to look up at the stars
And let my hopes soar
I want my heart to scream “I love this”
Instead of it screaming “no more”
I want my soul to feel love
That it’s needed for so long
I want things in my life to go right
Instead of always going wrong
I want to grab some ones hand
And no longer feel in danger
I want to feel like I belong
Instead of feeling like a stranger
I want my tears to be happy
Instead of crying over pain
I want the sun to come out again
Instead of hiding in the dark clouds of rain
I want to smile out of happiness
Instead of smiling to cover up tears
I want to feel safe
And let courage melt away my fears
I want the scars on my wrist to fade away
Instead of making new ones
Every single day
I want the thought of everything being fine
To be real
Instead of just a saying
But what I really want is my life back
…this is all I’m praying
