Whispering Prayers

Whispering to the beings that

are higher than her

asking for one simple thing

asking for her life to be

made so much simpler.

Begging for something to

give to ease the pain

that she has been feeling.

Whispering her prayers for

understanding and for hope

wishing for the eyes to

open up and see her

instead of just looking

through her as if she

doesn’t really exist at all.

Wanting them to look up

and see what has been

right there in front

of them all along.

Waiting for the pain to

pass and for everything

to resolve itself in time.

Whispering prayers of

understanding and hope.

Wishing for things to be

made clearer in time.
