A Prayer

Dear God.

Let me not wig.
Let me not try and make something worth what it isn't worth
Let me not be like them.

Let me live in a pleasing way to myself and others and to you.
Let me stay inspired by my friends.
Let me be fierce.

Let me not fights wars with myself
Let me not yell at the wonderful people in my life.
Let me not use the eff word quite as much (although I would still like to use it).

Let me forget him.
Let me forget him.
Let me forget him.

Let me not be a wallflower.
Let me not be a firecracker.
Let me not be an enigma.

Let me recognize truth and beauty (even when it's grotesque)
Let me use uninterupted windsheild wipers.
Let me breathe easily.

Let me not have crushes on friends
Let me not hear the door shut when it shuts.
Let me not need any help.

Let me sing.
Let me sleep.
Let me cease to exist.

Let me not make anyone cry.
Let me not get married if love isn't present.
Let me not get lost in violet haze.

Let me love.
Let me keep my integrity on every level.
Let me be clear.

Let me not run away.
Let me not scar.
Let me not lose you.

Let me appear contagiously joyful always.
Let my revenge be sweet.
Let him remember me.

Let me not choose the wrong side.
Let me not rendezvous with poison.
Let me not sacrifice my curiousity.

Let me laugh.
Let me reach the fingertips of the Sistine Chapel.
Let me be the untortured starry starry night.

Let me not mouthbreath
Let me not kiss irreverence one too many times.
Let me not break one too many cattails.

Let me have one. Just one.

Let me not act too cool for school.
Let the sunshine in.

Let me throw the fairydust in my hair.
Let me not beekeep.

Amen.
