They say better things happen--
When things fall apart.
I'm just trying to fix a void--
That's been placed on my heart.
I'm just praying for a smile--
To return to my face.
I'm just waiting for everything--
To fall back into place.
Seems like a road block--
In every direction.
But I know that I'll be fine--
I'm under God's protection.
They say it will take time--
But I'm tired of waiting.
I'm on the edge of my seat--
Anticipating.
They say things could get worse--
But they can be better.
Writing to my future self--
In a handwritten letter.
Nobody said it would be easy--
Life is sometimes hard.
So, I spread my love and hope--
Inside of every card.
Praying for things to change--
Holding on to hope.
Maybe one day--
I'll learn how to cope.
In the meantime--
I'll just hope for the best.
In the meantime--
I'll just pray to pass this test.
