Escape

I wish that I

could run away

From my problems

but weakness

Is no solution

My problems would

be still waiting for me

When I return

Without the answers

that I desperately seek

I uselessly try

To distract my mind

With numbing things

Like technology

and binging on Netflix

But my problems

Resurface when

I close my eyes

I realize that

Avoidance is not a fix

But it is tempting

In reality

Life is hard at times

and struggles come

To each man in his day.

The only solution

That has ever worked

Is to bow my head

and to pray

Pray for courage

Pray for strength

Pray that I

Can endure this pain

Pray to the Father

In the Name of his Son

Pray that he will

Show me the way

Pray for Gods

will to be done
