Prayers Poem by Layla Norman

I prayed to God to save me
to help me with my past
but He seemed to ignore me
and leave me til last

I needed his guidance
or at least someone to care
but soon i gave up hope
when it seemed He wasn't there

I slowly pulled away
from the things that kept me whole
and i soon forgot the feeling
of a loving, caring soul

I ignored all my feelings
and pretended to be free
but with all the hurt i kept inside
i'd never be happy

When i could no longer take it
and i gave Him one more chance
He took the last of my spirit
and stole my dreams of romance

I felt cursed and unwanted
unloved and empty inside
and the hurt, i'd show in writing
that i soon began to hide

But the more that i wrote
the more my heart'd die
it was even to the point
where i lost my will to try

I finally gave up
because my heart'd split in two
and God finally heard my prayer
cuz He sent me straight to you.
