Praying For a Better Day

I wish I could leave
because with my heart on my sleeves
I'm not safe here
always in fear 
of being hurt again
by a sin
that you commit 
while I just sit
and take it all 
I know it is my fault  
that you get mad
that you feel bad
so I lay here
never shed a tear
to make you feel like a man
I won't take a stand
I'll just lay and pray 
for a better day

Jancarl Campi January 16, 2011 at 12:32 PM Hi, Amber: I wish you well. It is hard when one has his or heart on ones' sleeve. It leaves one open for lots of heart. I have been there. It is not that persons' fault. I hope you find peace and the way to a better day. Take care and God Bless you, Jancarl
