I pray

I pray

A Poem by shawnt5604

Memories have overtaken me
As I try to concieve
A new way to believe
That I can live

Begging on my knees
Praying to the lord, please
Just give
Me a new perspective
Just give
My mirror a new reflection-
A new perception
Of me

I've abided by yours laws
And I've kept my faith strong
Don't I deserve
To feel like I belong
In a world that has cast me away

Today
I ask you to change my outlook
Your tests have painfully shook
My spirits in a way that leaves my mind astray
I pray

I pray to feel better
And I pray for peace of mind
For happiness in my heart
And a brand new kind
Of ways to live my life
allowing me to hold my head up high
And never ask again why
I deserve to cry

You've always been there
And I need you today
So desperately I talk to you
As now I lay
My life in front of you
Because this is the way
I pray

Are you talking to the reflection of your Consciousness within the mirror of your mind? Introspection is always a good way of dealing with psychic conflicts. Personifying this reflection as a mighty nurturing presence helps you to discern the gist of what your super-ego is all about. If only more people would attempt this, then we would have a more peaceful world. May you find the serendipity of new connections.
