Life

As I sit here in the shadows of what my life should be, I wonder if this pain I feel will ever set me free . The struggles I have felt so deep are carved within my soul the torment of the years gone by will forever take their toll. Upon this world, there has to be a greater force then fate, for when my days are here and gone will I knell beneath the gate? Is there really someone who looks over all of human kind, if there is then why within my being the peace I cannot find? My hands they shake and my bodies numb from the hurt my heart does bare, if this is how my life should be, it does not seem quite fair. They say life is what you make it; well then, I guess I made mine hard, for this I will pay the biggest price, a mind and soul that’s scared. I will look up to the heavens for the strength that I will need to try to face the days that lay ahead, for the mercy I will plead. Dear lord if you are really there please here these words I pray, grant me strength to face this world with courage each new day. I am asking for salvation for all the things that I have done, please grant me just the peace of mind to feel a bright new sun. The sun that shines on those with peace, who feel no pain within. If you grant me this I ask I plead, my new life can begin. .
