Silent Prayer
Dear God,
I need to talk to you
I just hope you receive this silent prayer that I am sending you
This is really hard for me
I don’t know where to start
Well let me start off with a thank you
You are always in my heart.
As you know, I’ve had a troubled past
And now it’s catching up with me
And it’s coming way too fast.
Before I hid how I was feeling
And I really don’t know why
And now it’s overwhelming
Trying so hard not to cry.
I have lost my motivation
I’m in constant need of affirmation.
Why do I minimize what I am worth?
Why do I capitalize on every opportunity to get hurt?
Why do I care too much?
Why do I feel lost?
Why do I crave someone’s gentle loving touch?
Even though I know I have to let it go
I can’t find enough courage to walk through that door.
And shut it all behind me
I can’t seem to forget
Or is what I am feeling
The burden of regret?
I guess what I am asking for
Is for some of your strength to move on
And to get past my insecurities
And to find my way
I couldn’t find the answer
So I’ve come to you to pray
And I know what I’m asking for
Cannot be fixed in one day
I just want the pain to subside
The heaviness on my heart to rise
I want self doubt to evade me
I want you to uplift me
I know there is a reason for everything you do
And you make no mistakes because your perfection is true
Thank you for listening
You always have the time
