Dear God

I don't deserve to be here no more
Please take my life Lord this is to sore
For I am too much of a coward to do it myself
I'm sorry if I'm starting to sound like a bore

I'm sorry that I need to ask you this
There are a few things I would greatly miss
I'm sorry that I'm hurting the ones that stay behind
They've always been to me only but kind

What am I doing, How do I dare
There's a person I prayed for yesterday
Asking you for him to spare

I'm sorry looked back
And only saw one line of footprints
I'm sorry I let me fall into this slack
O please God bring me back!

I will never do this again
Help me be strong
And to know what to do when
If it's only to live for my daughter then!
