When the weight of the world is heavy on me
and the night is cold
and I can't find peace,
I sit in the quiet
where even my thoughts seem loud.
The stars offer no answers,
only distance.
But still,
I lift my eyes to the heaven above
and pray to the lord.
Not for miracles,
but for the strength to stand,
for the stillness to breathe,
and for the light
to return.
