a sinner's prayer.

by @kaliraye

dear God, I know you get tired of the way I make these promises to change.. but God, I swear my sins are the only things that numb my pain.. sometimes I feel like you don't hear me though.. I mean, I be calling you and you don't even say 'hello'. so reaching out seems futile to me. cause at the end of it all, I still feel like nobody. so I end up with some nigga that's not worth it in my draws. or I end up throwing liquor back to hear people's applause. I know you hear me some nights, sobbing uncontrollably. because I wish.. I wish I didn't let the devil get a hold of me. so hard to do good, so easy to do evil. tryna right my wrongs before the chance is all gone.. all my life in church and Satan still got in. and to be honest, I'M SCARED I CAN'T STOP HIM. my momma always told me not to play with demons.. somebody wake me up PLEASE, I swear I'm dreaming. blade to my wrist, I won't stop the bleeding.. but God, I know you hear me.. I know you see me pleading. at this point, i just need something to believe in.
