Sadness

I feel like shouting my sadness to all the world
to all the planets, the sun and the moon
so loud it will echo through the universe into the heavens
I feel like I have lost all hope.
I am so tired of this straggling heart
I am so fed up with this bitter constraint
I search for my salvation in my pent-up tears
day in, day out.
Dear Lord, please hear my prayer
and calm this sorrow in my heart
I am desperate for an awakening of my soul
give my soul courage, hope and peace.
Please Lord, hear my prayer and dry my tears.
