A Prayer from the Shadows
By Glory Fink
O God, please wake me
this smog of anguish is stifling
I float, a shadow of who I was,
a peril to all who love me
I yearn to vanish,
to slip through the cracks of this world
I drift between realms,
but oblivion offers no comfort
And I fear the truth behind my agony
only proves
how pathetic,
how shameful
I truly am
No child deserves to be broken
before they ever get the chance
to grow whole
