Guidance

Allah
Krishna
Yahweh
God
Whatever your name, I need some help down here.

I've
never
been
one
to pray much outside of church and at suppertime.

But
it
looks
as
if that might change, considering the circumstances.

so
forgive
me
if
the prayers aren't too practiced, and if I stutter.

But
you
made
me
so you probably know me better than even I ever could.

I
only
ask
that
you know me well enough to help me get through these days.

I
need
something
real
to outshine the hate, the tears, and the feelings of self-doubt.
