The cowards prayer (Rough draft 1)

Faded Silhouette

Dear Lord your mercy is too much for me

It weighs on me too heavily  

If you could grant me one request 

When I go to my ill gotten rest

Wash me away from the hearts and minds of those I'll leave behind

Be kind

    A most selfless prayer so nicely expressed in poetic form. A fave for both the message and the form and rhyme in so few words

      It's actually about someone who\'s about to commit suicide.

      • sorenbarrett

        That turns much of it around but still beautiful

        Brilliant write
