Please Don't Take This Life From Me!

God,

I pray that you don't

take this life from me.

Please don’t take me from my youth.

Please don’t rob me

of my dreams.

I want this life

so badly,

and I’ll do all I can to fight.

For the visions I have written on paper.

For the moments

my dreams

come to life.

-

I’ve worked so hard for all my riches.

Please God,

don’t you take me from my dreams!

I try my best to stay on the right path,

but my demons,

they sometimes

slip out of the backseat.

-

They take my hands off of

the wheel,

and place their claws

all over me.

They know

that there are

some moments in which,

this is exactly

what I need.

-

I'm sorry for the times I stumble.

I’m sorry for the times I fall.

I’m sorry for the times I act as if

I don’t want this life at all.

-

But my demons,

they eased the pain when you weren’t

answering my calls!

“Can you listen to me now

as I repent for my wrong deeds?”

God,

I pray that you don’t ask for us

to see a light and meet!

I don’t want to hear you say

that there is

no place in heaven

for me!

I don’t want to face the music,

that Hell

is a much better fit for me.

-

God,

I’m begging you,

please!

Don’t you

take this life from me!

Because I know how this will end,

and I’m not

ready for my

defeat…

-

Please don’t rob me of my youth

and please don't

take me from my dreams!

They’ll be the only thing I have left

when my demons

finally

lay me down

to sleep.
