Father Please

life is full of ups and downs 
but it feels like a cycle 
that never does end
I have gone my rounds 
I have  felt hate and pain
and I have known joy and love 
but father please I'm begging you shine some light from above 
I know I am strong 
I can handle a lot 
but what I don't want is to be tested and teased 
I want to feel happy more then any one could ever hate 
I don't want to be angry forever 
I want fields of flowers and the warm kiss of the sun 
I want joy a and happiness until my days are done 
I want to be alone utterly alone 
with the hole world to explore 
I am tired of memorizing the back of each hand 
I hate being broken to the point I cant stand 
and as one of your children 
I'm asking you please
 take me away from this punishment where I must bow on my knees 
respect those around you isn't hard to do when those around respect and love you
