I'm ready Lord give me another try,
before I die, let me make my father proud.
I might not speak loud but I'm here.
With sheer sincerity I pray for this.
I can't dismiss the fact that I always fail.
This may seem like a tall tale to the ones on the outside looking in.
How can they see when I always grin?
I'm good at that, better yet I'm great.
But God please wait.
Stop time if you can.
I understand that I am not what you expect.
I know I neglect myself in order to make others smile.
It's been like that for awhile.
Please give me a break.
Every morning I wake and I'm grateful.
Despite the hatefulness I feel in my heart sometimes, I'll take a moment and rewind those feelings and invision better days.
I know you love me in many ways.
So God, can I count on you?
To pull me through again?
Is this where life begins?
I WIN!
With my Lord, my Savior, my friend.
Wow, I've felt this! I really, really felt this. Love to read poems where ppl are open and honest about falling short, but are still able to reach for help from the Most High. I loved it! My favorite part was...
