One Prayer

“One Prayer” It’s Christmas Eve and I sit here alone wondering if tomorrow really exists Yesterday is the past and today is the present yet I feel already gone Gone to a far-off land never see by anyone not even myself Wondering why God has allowed me to survive this long with no purpose to live Knocking on heavens door yet no one is there to answer Banging on the gates before me yet no one has the key Screaming for God to let me in yet ignored as usual Crying rivers of acid streams for the sins I can’t erase The bitter cold stings at my face as I walk towards tomorrow A day I always pray will never come so my pain will finally end Why God must you make me suffer here in a world I don’t belong? Please take me away from this broken world so the suffering will finally cease I’m not asking for forgiveness for the man I already am I don’t want your arms around me to comfort me for this time only I just want a life without demons haunting my every dream Let one prayer be answered and let my life belong to the star’s above
