Let there be happiness,
Let the tears from my face fall for the last time.
I bowed my head again tonight,
Just like I do every night.
I cry, trying to grasp my breath,
It’s the same routine I do every day.
Why pray to someone I don’t believe in?
Who is this person I’m speaking to?
I close my eyes and whisper into the darkness.
My hands clenched to the side of my bed.
All the bad things begin to rush through my head.
Please, I pray, let him come home sober.
The one thing I always wish for,
Is the thing I know that will never happen.
Please, whoever you are.
Allow me to become stronger.
Distract me from addiction.
Let me smile for joy and not pain.
Let me know she’s okay and she’s still here;
Tell her and Grandpa I said, “I love you.”
Tell my twin siblings I wish I could have met them.
Show light onto my brother before he turns into me.
Keep those who are in danger safe.
Stop the pain from yesterday.
Help me forget the enemies and scars from the past.
I don’t know who to talk too, so I’ll pray to you.
Whoever you are…
