Pushover

Dear Lord

Dear Lord,

Help me understand who I’m supposed to be. Trying to please everyone is not my cup of tea.

There’s always one person left in fury and it tears my world apart. Please help me understand purpose of this heart.

Am I damaged in someway, or is this how you intended it? My puzzle isn’t missing a piece. They all just simply don’t fit.

It’s not that I’m desirable, I am the subject of war. Ripping off pieces of me until eventually there’s no more.

Everytime I let someone down I pray you help them learn why, but now I’m asking you to help me speak up without having to try.

There’s a reason for everything.

What’s the reason for being so submissive if there’s a reason for everything?
