Are You Listening, God

Are You listening, God? I'm not perfect; I'm flawed-- Spoke not the truth; 'twas all fraud. And did they applaud? Hah! They guffawed. Are You listening, God? I'm weak; I'm not tough: Not strong, a creampuff; Like twinkies, cotton candy, fluff. Are You listening, God? I thought I was brilliant; I was dull: My 'great ideas' all came to null. No genius was I; I had a numb skull. Are You listening, God? Then hear my plea: I confess to my abysmal condition; Have mercy on me and on my petition. Why SHOULD You help, You say? Isn't it enough that I pray? Well, You're right. I need to do better; I need to improve. I need not to grumble; I need to be humble. I need not to curse and make things worse when I stumble. And now that I've tumbled,... I need to show that I mean it when I say I'll do better; A man's word is his bond, right down to the last letter. I'm going to improve! You just wait and see. So, thanks for having this little pep talk with me!
