I know we haven’t spoken <br />I know we aren’t that close <br />But it seems like you ignore me <br />At times that I need you the most. <br /> <br />Do you see me falling to my knees, <br />Asking you to help? <br />Are you really listening, <br />Or am I talking to myself? <br /> <br />Do you see my crying? <br />As I lie awake in bed, <br />Screaming, yelling, and praying to you <br />Silently in my head. <br /> <br />Please would you just answer me? <br />God, please, just give me a sign. <br />Tell me things will be okay, <br />Tell me things will be all right. <br /> <br />What did I do to deserve this? <br />What have I done wrong? <br />Did you just sit there and laugh at me, <br />As all this hurting was going on? <br /> <br />Oh please, I need an answer, <br />God, please don’t make me plead! <br />I need to know you hear me, <br />God, please don't make me scream! <br /> <br />I need to know you’ll help me <br />I need to know you’re there <br />I need to know you love me <br />I need to know you care. <br /> <br />Too many times I’ve got on my knees. <br />Too many times I’ve cried. <br />Too many times I’ve hurt so bad, <br />That I honestly wanted to die. <br /> <br />I just needed you to listen <br />Did you forget about me again? <br />What’s the use in prayers, <br />If you never answer them?<br /><br />Crystal Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-please-don-t-make-me-beg/
