Wake up each day,
Stretch away the night time pain,
Thinking about the future I have,
And pray it won't happen again today

Sunrise photographs,
Silhouetted trees and lakes,
Using the art to heal myself,
And pray it won't happen again today

Charcoal smudges across my face,
Paper before me, black and white,
Hoping for a little more colour in my life,
And pray it won't happen again today

Breathing to meditate
Trying to push the anger away
Using the useless methods they taught me
And pray it won't happen again today

Hiding from the others
Hiding from myself
I use my life as a shield from myself
And pray
More than anything
Hope against hope
Pray it won't happen again today.
