•I Pray For You•
i pray for you
in all your struggles that you go through
the battles u fight alone
and don't tell to anyone
i pray that u stop going back
my whisper to God
reaches the moment he swings
his fist at your face and pulls it away
thank God
i pray for your mind
thinking all the things it shouldn't be
you're fine
even if you're not, let me pray for u
to start the healing that's overdue
let's talk, so u know someone
is near to listen
i love u but at a distance
i can't watch u hurt yourself
in front of my face
i pray for u
in all your distraught
i look up to u
to the person you could be
the person u were
what happened to her ?
one of the smartest people i know
that can still make dumb decisions
like go back or just settle
when u know u deserve better
the sting on ya cheek doesn't burn ?
or the imprint of his hand on your neck
doesn't wanna make u cover up ?
your beautiful dark skin
hides behind the struggle and pain
of your losses u put to the back
of your mind
never to see the light of day
except when he points em out
not like he does anything else
but beat u down and
makes sure u stay there
which u do
but as i call on to God
and mention your name
he lifts u up and puts
u in the bed with your children
don't let them see mommy that way
i pray for u
in your darkest hour
and lightest moment
because i've seen u at the hilltop
happy and where u want to be
but also seen u vulnerable
and just wanting to be listened to
i love u
and for that, i pray for u
