Dear God,
I want to thank you for waking me up this morning
I want to thank you for waking up my family and friends
I would like to thank you for:
the food in my belly
the clothes on my back
and the roof over my head
Can you please help the people
who are too silly not to pray for themselves
In the name of Jesus I pray amen

I use to shine.
Knowing and acting are two very different things .
I can sit here, knowing the girl sitting next to me,
is better than I will ever be .
Sitting here asking myself why I'm not more like her .
is no life I'd like to lead .

I want to shine.
but eventually, all I can do
is take my seat, and let it take the best of me .
and just let

Her Shine,
like she ought a be .

I  should have let the dogs
Bite into your awaiting
flesh.
Strip you to nothing but bare bone
I could have let them rip you
To shreds,  
mere scraps of human nothingness
Your days were numbered.
But compassion filled my heart
And my eyes.
For some reason unknown to me
I let you walk.
Spared you of any extra pain, that you
Might have .
