The Angry Soul Poem by Shawanda Polk

I strain my eyes so I can see
How my life is going to be
Being like others is just not me
I really want to set my soul free
So I pray and pray to whom I believe
Why, why me oh Lord?

Why am I going through all this pain?
Oh I’m fin to burst into flames
Or should I continue to go insane
As I try and try to play the game
It just seem to be all the same
Now it’s time to set my soul free
I pray and pray to whom I believe
Why, why me oh Lord?

Help me remember how much I’m bless
So maybe all this-
This stress can be laid to rest
So I can really be at my best
When I’m ready to set my soul free
I pray and pray to whom I believe
Why, why me oh Lord?

I wonder and wonder
As I turn each corner
Who does God want me to be
So I can believe-
Believe in me
Trying to succeed the best in me
Because I want to be the best I can be
So I can set my soul free
I pray and pray to whom I believe
Why, why me oh Lord?
