Pray for peace
For control is not within the hands of one
But the hands of many
Compete with yourself
Do not be ashamed of your sins
Have sympathy for those who are dying
For those who have had their youth kidnapped from them
Always pray
Praying is not just for the religious
It's for those who need to ask themselves to be strong
So they can go on
There is something sad about today
Maybe it's the fact that
My country is one ***** loose from falling apart
And all we can resort to is discussing politics
Uninspiring topics that are meaningless
We should be discussing about what inspires us
About how great old songs are on our trips home from work
But new songs are like cold showers to wake us up

What makes me feel alive
Is forgetting I need to impress anybody
To forget that I am surrounded by con-artists
To be a joy to others
Because I am a joy to myself
I don't always succeed
Sometimes we can be insufferable
I know I can be an unapologetic *****
But I can be sorry for those times

Since I was young
I was always passionate
Where has my fire gone?
Is it out?
So I pray for peace
I pray for myself
I pray for self-control
For control over my weaknesses
And to have freedom to use my strengths
Without fear of judgement
I am not inconsequential because I choose to live a life that is enough
I am just content to be happy with enough
