A Plea

I have something to say
Will you listen?

I have something to say
Will you hear?

I have something to say
Will you understand the fear behind the words?

Understand that I am trying
Understand that I am barely hanging on
Understand that I am crying

Can you see into my darkness
Do you light a candle for me
And pray that God will give me the strength to somehow go on?
