Broken but Trying to Heal

I pray that you hear me

I hope that things change

I maybe want you to call me

I think of you every day

I only desire that blessings

Rain down over you

And I can only wish truly

You’d want that for me, too.

I can’t hold on forever

I know it’s out of my hands

I feel crushed when I see you

This has been the last stand

I know you don’t care for me

You only care ‘bout yourself

I can only keep praying

It don’t lead you to Hell.

Now the memories haunt me

When I see your gaunt face

You went and grew up inside

I didn’t get to watch that change

Because you ran me off

Kicked me out of your home

I thank God for my good friends

Who never left me alone

Now I have a great family

We aren’t too broken inside

I hope the hatred you foster

Will eventually die.

We want you to love us

See us for who we are

Not our mistakes or failings

But you’ve made it so hard

To even reach out now

Costs me my every breath

I don’t want to carry this feeling

To the day of my death

So please let me inside now

To see my old family again

Maybe instead of my father

You could be a good friend.
