Silent Prayer! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

Dear God,
Why do you let me live?
When I have prayed so long for death
I do not deserve the life I have got
It seems too glorious
When I have done so much wrong
I’ve told too many lies
Hurt too many people
But where will I go if I die?
You’ll send me straight down to hell
With all the other liars and cheaters.
I’ve tried so many times to die
But you keep granting me life
I do not deserve it God, don’t you see?
I grip the blade in my hand
I’m ready for the end
But I am scared God,
I can’t do it, please help me
I am a coward God, I don’t deserve life
I am a liar God, I don’t deserve another chance
I am me God, and I want to die
I don’t want to cause more pain or hurt
Can’t you see God, everyone will be better without me
But you are too forgiving, you won’t let me die
Thank you God, for another chance of life
