the prayer jar is empty
by Shonda Chrissonberryi don't want to pretend
that everything is ok anymore
i just want to scream
at the top of my lungs
i want to stop using capital letters
and runmysentencestogether
i want to grab a handful of life
and throw it back at you
whoever YOU are...
i am tired of living this life
this do what is right
or you will burn in hell life
this walk through this valley alone life
this give it all to me
and your burden will be light life
IT IS ALL BULLSHIT
yea, i said that
and i will say it again
it is all bullshit
(no caps this time)
i just want to cry
until the tears are gone
and dream
until the days are gone
and sleep
until the nights are gone
and wish you away
until you are gone
and then close my eyes
one last time until
i am gone

The power of it made me want to grab life by the throat with you and just shake it! Going in my favorites. Love it. |
