Give me just one more night, that is all I will need.
And then in the morning, I’ll have this thing beat.
I just need a moment to think some things through.
To step back from this life so I can see with a different view.
To sit down on this cold day and take in a deep breath.
And exhale the pain and fears that are buried within my chest.
To watch the sun fall down from out of the sky.
To let all the small things in this world catch my eye.
To reminisce in a past that no longer exists.
To teach my heart to forgive instead of raising my fists.
To look back at myself and laugh at all my tears.
To stop being a child and start facing my fears.
To have the strength to get up from this spot in which I sit.
To have the courage to walk on instead of falling further into my pit.
And so God please, this of you I pray.
Take this hurt that’s in my heart and let the pain go away
…if only for today.
