Prayers answered

Folder: 
Despair

 

I could write this a thousand times

and never tire of writing it.

 

Sometimes I wish I wouldn't

feel like this anymore.

 

To feel like I lack faith,

that some of the things I pray for

seem to go without being fulfilled.

 

Days turn into week,

weeks turn into months,

months turn into years,

feeling the same way.

 

Trapped.

 

My heart is vexed,

the pain continues,

the continuous feeling

of failure.

 

Not seeing much that I can do,

I can only stay confident

for so long,

before I am beaten down.

 

I want to keep getting up

and fighting it,

the lies, the lonliness,

to see that this is going somewhere.

 

Hoping that there could be someone

who could accept me as I am now,

compared to years down the road.

Showing signs of unconditionalality,

which seems to be close to non-existant.

 

That I hold onto what I need to,

to beleive that my prayers

are answered.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
