not better

December 25, 2012

How are you doing?
About the same
I can see you working around what you don’t want to say
Ever since the change in your medicine you’ve been worse
I went to church yesterday, and as we all bowed our heads
And prayed for our own personal needs
I tried to pray, but cursed him instead
I only regretted it for a moment
I wish I could take your pain away
See what you’re like without it

I made a line and couldn't get it out of my head, and I knew I had to write. I wrote it out and knew I didn't want my family to read it, but if I kept it saved on my computer, someone else could see it, but I didn't want to erase it. I thought why not submit it here and see what happens?

&quot;I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who&#039;s left me so many times. I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who won&#039;t answer my call.&quot;
