Give Me The Strength

My back is firmly pressed up against
The door frame
As my purse drops to the ground
The tears begin to bubble in my eyes

With no idea
Why, this hurts so much
I ask my Creator to let me turn back time
To the days where life didn't hurt so much

My heart has been shattered
By the distant love I hold
Each time he walks away
I crumble to the floor in tears

Buried on the floor
I ask God why does life have to be so hard?
And I beg to him
Why does love have to hurt?

Down on my knees
For the millionth time
Begging for an easier life
When I realize:

No matter how easy life is
It will always be hard
If my soul is weak
And my heart does not believe

Down on my knees
For the millionth time
But this time it is different
Begging to God I do not ask for relief

I ask God
One simple thing
To give me the strength
To live

    awesome poem. life is always going to be hard, but if we pray for just the strength to move along, then maybe we can realize that - that life will always be hard

    "With no idea

    The word "where" is quite awkward. Perhaps you might try using "when" as you are speaking of time, or changing the word "time" to "place". Otherwise, thanks for entering!
