Sometimes

Sometimes life is unfair.

I've been given too much to bare.

Am I really this weak?

Why can't I speak?

I've stood up for my beliefs,

But I have found no relief.

My life seems to me

To be a constant plea

For peace and love

From my maker above!

I do not pretend

To begin to comprehend

The beauty and the pain

That makes me feel insane!

My only prayer for myself and others

Is to live in harmony as sisters and brothers.

Lord, we need more of you,

If we are to make it through.
