Salvation Denied

June 13, 2013

As I lay waiting for sleep I pray. I pray for a glimmer of light in a sea of darkness. For the fear to end Its quiet I know but it’s a deadly silence-- The quiet before the storm. I pray for help only to be denied once more. Shouts Sound through the air in the room below. A scream of pain rends the air. It shoots straight through my heart. I cover my head and wait for the one sided battle to end As I wait, I pray I pray for salvation only to be denied.

Life is Hell. It'll try to bring you to your knees but you just have to keep standing back up.
