Providence

I don’t believe in the God I was taught

And I’m not sure which religion has it right.

But sometimes I find myself lying awak at 2 in the morning

And I’ll pray

To whoever will listen.

And I’m not sure if that makes me weak

Or hopeful

Or desperate

To think my cause is so lost that I have to lean on Divine Intervention for strength to get through

Or to beg for it to stop.
