I Pray

I find it hard to live today, thoughts of death 
bring me so close to the edge, I pray and pray, 
I really try but, l feel no passion for life anymore, 
what will make me stop today, how will I make 
these thoughts of death go away,I know Lord.
you hear my every prayer, but, my mind is so, 
closed Lord I can't hear you, What will I do , 
as much as i pray I see no end in sight, death 
surounds me it calls my name I here it so clear, 
I know Lord in the end it's all up to me, I know you 
won't take away my free will, so I have to deal,
with this one in my heart and mind, Can  I fight, 
can I win this battle,it's a war inside of me, 
no one knows but, you Lord, I give it all to you,
and I pray again please Lord the world is to much 
for me, to much sadness and pain, I pray Lord, 
if it's okay please take me home with you,Can
I go home, if not Lord please bring my troubled 
mind and heart some peace! Lord as you know 
it's a long rough road to heaven but a short easy 
trip to hell!
