Answered prayers

by Kelly Hamrick - Gemini

I woke up this morning
and fell out of bed
to another day I didn’t want to start.
One more day down, I keep thinking to myself
but what am I counting down for?
How many day’s will it take me to recover
from all that has happened to me?
“Please make this countdown end, 
and let my life go on, and let me be back to me.”
This is my prayer as I go through the morning
hoping God will send his angels to me.
Still I count down
the days that I make it,
and hope soon my life will be more
than what I just see.
As I go on with my daily routine
things just get harder and harder.
By the time I return home,
I just want to be alone,
yet it doesn’t work out that way.
“I want to be alone, can’t you do that for me?
Oh please let me be.”
This is my prayer when I come home 
at the end of the day,
All I want is to be left alone,
why won’t they let me be?
My parents are worried
that something is wrong
and last night I made a promise.
I promised that I would be back tomorrow
to the smiling happy old me.
I have kept that promise
on the outside, while inside I’m screaming with pain.
“Please stop my heart from feeling this way,
and make tomorrow a better day.”
This is the prayer I ask every night
and then I cry myself to sleep.
Maybe tomorrow, 
when I wake from my sleep
everything will be back to normal.
I wish for that day
when I can say,
my prayers have been answered.

Reason for writing:

    i wrote this because this is what i pray throughout the day.  This is what i feel...and how i know that someday, God will answer my prayers and i can once again be happy :)
