Plea For Sanity

Oh God please take these racing thoughts from me,
Please stop the inner turmoil please.
Why do I always feel this way?
What do I have to do, what do I have to say.
Why does my life have to be so hard?
Why do I always have to feel on guard?
It doesn’t seem fair, it doesn’t seem right,
That my mind has to always be in this eternal fight.
I’m tired of worry; I’m tired of pain,
I’m tired of feeling like I’m always to blame.
God please give me peace, please put me mind at ease,
I can not take it, I didn’t ask for this disease.

This prayer disguised as a great poem is all anyone needs to escape any evil thought. The plea is towards the right Person and your "poem" flows perfectly!
