Why?

by R. Brough Terry - Pisces

God, take me from this place
These people I cannot face
They won't listen
You sent me here to teach them
They mock me
They spit in my face
They curse me and they curse Your name
You said to teach them what I know
I can't teach them
I can't reach them
I speak...they say it's false
God, take me from this place
I can't handle this
They're too stubborn
It's plain for them to see
But they close their eyes
God, please take me away
I can't face this today
You say the field is white
But I struggle with all my might
I see no harvest
Just the blisters on my hands
From all the work I've done
As I work, they mock me
Won't you take me away from here?
Please, take me!
