Prayed for rain,

Now I’m standing in mud

Really thought I knew what I wanted.

It was dry and barren.

Thought I just needed to be caring. 

Confidently I knew the way

Now that rain drained my day.

Praying, for what I want

Praying, for what I need

Is praying the answer,

Or should I just wait patiently?

Prayed for strength,

Now I’ve lost my compassion

Really thought if I could just be stronger,

I could make it last much longer.

Tears.

Heartache. 

Now it’s gone, but so too is the passion.

Now I can’t feel anything, just the weight of this strength.

Praying, for what I want.

Praying, for what I need.

Is praying the answer,

Or should I just wait patiently?

Prayed and prayed, but I’m still in need. 

Got every single thing that I’ve prayed for, yet I’m empty. 

Learn to accept and manage, instead praying for that greener grass.

It’s all just an illusion, and this too shall pass.

Praying, for what I want.

Praying, for what I need.

Is praying the answer,

Or should I just wait patiently?
