Just a Chance
Was it too much to ask?
Perhaps this truly is fair,
some retribution for past misdeeds
or a shield against unnecessary pain.
But that is not for you to decide
God!
My life is not yours to poke and to prod.
At the end of the day
when I lie cowering in bed
afraid of what the next day will bring,
who lies with me?
My friends?
My heart?
No
But, neither are you lying here
god!
And, if you do not care
Why should I?
