My Life, My God, My Prayer

All I got is my dead, lonely silence
All I see on tv is war and violence
Gone are the days where you can run at night alone
Gone are the days where you can leave your doors unlocked at home
Sometimes I just have to read the bible alone
Because I can't keep going on my own
Sick of the sin infesting it's nails in my side
Tired of the many times where I just lied
Tired of the nights where I just cried
Feeling that I'm just alone
But I realized I gotta change my tone
I forget the many things I have
Coming home to take a hot bath
To talking to my friends who care
Knowing that the things I have is rare
Taking my pain and turning it into my gain
Just praying for the rain
Letting it cleanse my open wounds
Healing the wounds as I watch the flowers bloom
Knowing that many people have all this
Sometimes I just want to pound my fist
Because I miss the love and happiness I used to have inside
Knowing that I am in this for the long ride
I pray that a day will come where I can just breathe
Or atleast someone to hold onto while I struggle
Just having someone to snuggle
With and knowing that she loves you too
So that when I go to bed at night
I will feel safe being in Gods warm light
Keeping the demons away
So that I will never stray
Lord, Keep me strong
Put me where I belong
Show me the way
Through my day
Telling me what to do and say
Giving me the passion to fight
Giving me the supernatural strength to see the light
Without you Lord I am nothing
With you I feel like I am worth something
Keep my friends strong
Let them praise you with this song

I like this a lot. It's like an unstructured song, that just sort of flows. I like to consider myself a musician and it's always hard to differentiate between song lyrics and poetry. They should be the same to write. But you can't always. Anyway, very good, even if I'm not religious.
