My life

Lord can you please talk to me one time
So I can at least know you’re alright with me
Our farther that are in heaven
Protect me because I pray and pray
But I feel as if everything is going to come to an end soon
Sometimes I question in your belief
I prayed before court ended up doing time in the pen
Lord you see my struggles
Selling rocks just to get a quick buck
I feel like whatever I do it’s never enough
Lord please tell me how I’m living
If the way I’m living is wrong
Then lord guide me down the right path
So I can see the light
I see the devil creeping from the darkness
Trying to grab a n***** soul to bring him down under
So I’m fighting these demons
But all I hear is voices in my head
Lord talk to me please
Because I’m starting to think that you don’t see my pain
So at night I cry in my prayers one last time
Then I ask you
“Lord I don’t understand how could you have faith in something you can see?”
He says “listen son you can’t see oxygen but you believe you can breathe”
So I ask him why he put me on earth if we’re just living to die on this hell forgiving place
He says to live by the rules I told you to
So I ask him to forgive me for my sins
I had to push weight around the block just to make it by
This is my life, now lord please guide to down the right path so I can sit in them pearly gates
