Please rescue me from the world’s despair

Please wash away the pain I’ve endured throughout the years

Please hold me tight and protect me from those who wish to harm me

Please help me believe that I am stronger than I feel during tough times

Please help me keep the light glowing within my spirit

Please support me when I am weak and stand by me when I am strong

Please love me unconditionally; I am not perfect but I will return your love

Please listen to me; try to feel what I feel so you can help me claim a resolution

I’ve been a strong, independent survivor all my life; it’s time for me to stop walking alone. My heart will become unshielded for one who proves worthy; not one who jumps through hoops, just a genuinely compassionate spirit.
