My Prayer.

Dear God,
Please help me to stop crying,
And to stop this pain.
I wish my cheeks would start drying,
And I could be relieved of my shame.
I have hurt my family too many times,
And I have hurt my friends too.
I wish the ringing in my ears would stop their chimes,
And I wish some help would come from you.
I would really like the scars on my wrists to fade,
And I would like the shinning life to return to my eyes.
I wish you could help me put down the blade,
And help me stifle my painful cries.
Please put real smiles back into my life,
And help me understand my brother.
Please discourage me from the knife,
Because the real me is like no other.
I want the bad dreams to go away,
And the horrible memories to never return.
I want to have sweet dreams again,
And happiness is what I want to learn.
I wish I could protect my friends from the painful me,
Because I have hurt them quiet bad.
I’m deeply sorry I could not see,
And deeply sorry I make them sad.
Please help me become strong again,
So I can laugh with happiness.
Please help me chase this sadness away,
So my eyes can shine with real tenderness.
Amen
