Allow Me

When I pray to God
I try not to ask
For material things
Because they seem
Almost forbidden
Like they will never be granted

I ask for courage
For determination
To push through
Even though I'm all alone
Even though I want to give up
And run away from everything
Remain safe in the known

I beg of you, God
Please
Allow me to have what it takes
To pursue happiness
I hope you hear me
Because all I have thus far
Is darkness
And I don't know
How much more I can take
Before my light
Goes from dim
To darkness too

Please allow me
What you think
It will take
For my light to not go out
Stay with me, God
