A Prayer

selfstruggles

So I'm praying to God this holiday season
- and I do believe in God -
at least for now
it helps me not hate the world.
I'm praying first off for peace - love - happiness
and an end to all of the detrimental pain
the kind that teaches hate instead of strength.
But in case none of that comes true
I do have one entirely selfish wish.
I want to shine.
I want to be special,
strikingly smart, amazingly intuitive
startling in my creativity and imagination.
Something,
please make something go right in this brain of mine
I whisper to God
as I stare at my reflection in the mirror,
Searching for that knowing look of wisdom
that never comes.
Please make me stand out from the rest.
Give me a skill, a legacy
anything that will rise me above the common fool
anything that can gain me admiration and respect.
I know I sound desperate and needy God.
(This time my whispers get stuck in my throat
with the tears I wont allow to fall).
But that is because I am.
I'm empty and im waiting.
Please God, do something to show me
how I am meant to shine.
Wasn't I meant to do something?
Don't you have any plans for me?
(I try to ask God)
but end up instead
questioning my ceiling
interrogating my floor
asking myself.
I'm ready to accept my role in life God,
whatever it may be.
Please show me my path to wisdom and enlightenment
I murmur
my eyelids growing heavy with sleep.
And suddenly
Im a child again
begging Santa to please bring me
that one special gift
that I know will keep my happy forever.
