To the one up in the sky
I know you might be busy
But I need you to hear me.

I know I haven't believed in you much before
And I apologize
But if you're really there
And you can really make miracles happen,
I need you to hear me.

My cousin needs you, tonight
And maybe writing my thoughts in a poem
Can construct my ideas of how you can help me.

He is lying alone
And he's living off monitors.
He needs you now more than ever.
I need you to hear me.

Help him find his way.
Help him recuperate.
Help him see the light of day.
I need you to help him.
I need you to hear me.

*And in these moments of anxiety and helplessness
I find myself praying to a God I don't even know exists
