A Prayer From a Sinner

Let me scream,
coz these haters are full of 
sin.
Help me win, 
in a world where losing 
makes you weak.
Be my cane,
in this slippery road owned 
by the rain.
Gently heal me,
coz this bruised ego might 
just kill me.
Look at me,
for that innocent boy 
could never be.

Remember life, 
before it stabbed me hard 
with a knife.
Oh, would you spare me 
my soul, 
as my song is sang by the 
grey owl. 
Of crimes i'm capable,
but my family stares not at 
an empty table.
I tell my story though, 
it draws nothing but a sigh.
Living in the fast lane , 
Brough my name to 
shame. 

FORGIVE my faults,
as guilt never pauses

"Life stabbing me in the back" I know someone for who this was a physical reality. Your poem here is a prayer also. A prayer I understand. I really enjoy your poetry. Nice work.

Aweee..I like that image...life stabbing me in the back... Life will always continue with the negative looks we give each other.. It takes a mighty person to admit his or her faults... Enjoyed your poem...pd
