I pray


I understand that as your growing up you're supposed to feel like you know everything, or you're on top of the world, or supposed to feel undefeatable, but honestly..i'm not there yet, and i pray i never am. I would like to think that i have 2 feet placed firmly on the ground, and eyes looking only straight ahead. That i might be young, but I'm not immature, or that i might be impulsive, but I'm not unreasonable. I pray that i stay on track to a solid future. I pray for No bad influences, no decisions that can't solve before its too late, enough mistakes to learn life, but not enough to be defeated by it. And I pray for nothing my mom would be ashamed of. I pray for my faith, that to my dad might seem vague, to me it seems strong and that when i believe and love something, it can't be taken away from me.
I also pray that for anyone that has felt lost, or is lost, to know that even when you're having doubts, or having a hard time, the sun is bound to come out, to every problem, there is a solution, and for every fear, there is enough courage to build you back up.
