**my Silent Prayer

Lord give me strength Each and every day Please let me remain silent And watch what I say It's so hard to be the good guy When I'm outnumbered 3 to 1 Especially when I'm tired Of always being the one to run But why do I always feel guilty When I finally strike back? Maybe because it's not who I am Maybe it's all just an act I'm not quite sure Just how much more I can take I'm tired of pretending my feelings aren't hurt I was never one to be fake Everything happens for a reason Yet, still I question why Do people push my buttons Is it just to see me cry? Someday the table's will turn They'll see that they were wrong Lord You don't give me more than I can handle Just enough to make me strong
