My Prayer



My Prayer :



You left me in the darkness to face all of the pain,

My days were always cloudy, I always felt the rain.

I was too afraid to face the world, for the fear of being tormented,

I told you some crazy shit along the way, knowing that I never meant it.

I felt you turned your back on me, So I did the same to you,

Started thinking of crazy plans, a way to try and find the truth.

A truth that doesn’t even exist, A truth that’s not of this Life,

A truth of mental stability, a truth to end the fight.

I gave up all hope for everyone, all the people that surrounded me,

And then came the final blow, the hit that has forever grounded me.

I lived in seclusion, all alone, separated from the outside world,

I gave up on you, my family, my friends, and my girl.

You left me, I was stranded, how could you ever do that?

Everytime I would ask you for guidance, you’d always turn your back.

I had no choice but to live on my own, That’s the way I always felt,

I had to do it all alone, I didn’t think that anyone could help.

And then you gave me a sign, A signal to not give up,

I listened and followed, the changes were quick, big and abrupt.

My world has turned completely around, and it’s all because of you,

Never believed in all of that, But now I see that it’s true.

I am not quite sure exactly who I am praying to, but I just wanted to give thanks,

You have done so very much for me, and you never ask me for a thing.

I thank you for your Love, I thank you for your guidance and for your strength,

And if it is the only thing you ever do for me, Thank You, for you have turned

me from a boy into a man.





Amen.

Damn homie.. AMEN is right! This one reached out for me, because this wisdom that we're blessed with creates a spiritual dillema. Just know that regardless of what you call him, or the rituals that fit for you or your culture to worship him.. God is still God. and I think everyone needs to realize that we all often tend to attribute our good fortunes with God, but then when something bad happens all of a sudden God works in mysterious ways.. I've come to realize that God does not directly influence out everyday decisions, because that would defeat the purpose of free-will. People are starving in the world, because their starving.. not because God has forsaken them. and when someone becomes rich, they have become wealthy, not because God has blessed them. You stay faithful homie, and we dont know who we're praying too.. but he does provide us all with internal strength and can offer us spiritual guidance. But i'm just speculating myself for real. This one here tho is obviously from you heart and I feel it! Keep it up fam.. I thought I had a lot of poems.. lol but damn. Merry Christmas Mike!
