I long and long for the day,
That maybe someday I'll have the say.

I try and try my hardest,
But for some reason I'm the farthest.

I get so depressed I wanna die,
But I know I'm under God's watchful eye.

I'm not sure what life's about,
Or what part I'm supposed to play
Until I get mad and shout.

Why does it bother me?
While I'm upon my knees,
I bow my head and close my eyes.

And catch myself asking God those questions like;
Why is life unfair?
How come I feel this way?
What's my part to play in life?
When will you answer my prayers?

But it feels like life goes on forever,
Until I get to live happily ever after.

Then at bedtime every night,
I pray to asking for you to watch over me while I sleep,
But when I can't sleep,
I close my eyes,
Count to three,
Sing my A, B, C's.

Then eventually I fall asleep.
Then I repeat this all over the next day forever and ever.

Poetry doesn't have to rhyme and often can lose sincerity if the author is just trying to make rhymes.There is a powerful sentiment hidden in there however.
