Daily Prayers

The inner thoughts of a killer

Mundane was the tone of my life.
No one noticed me,
I was invisible, always wishing to be seen.

It didn’t make sense really,
Why I was translucent? 
I wanted to be noticed,
Maybe even a hug would be nice. 
I reach out to the one and only,
The one above, Almighty.

I always prayed this way.
Knees bruised, ankles numb,
Sitting for hours hands clasped in a triangle.

Praying into the dark void of the universe,
Waiting for something…anything to happen. 
All this time the voice in my head was prey-ing.

Like an animal. 
Carnivores in nature. 
Ripping meat, that’s what it means to truly…prey. 
I was doing it wrong this whole time!

Instead of on my knees, I need to stand strong. 
I didn’t want to be that one, stuck in the void.
Speaking to nothing. 
Getting nothing. 
Did I get nothing?

Everyday grinding to live,
Wishing that all my responsibilities,
Would disappear into the void.
Maybe the higher being listened to me?

He gave me this path,
Preying on my knees,
Being a ruthless, monstrous…
Killer.

My prayer worked you see, I finally know myself, I have the facts. 
Praying was easy, but prey-ing is the test. 
I must muster the courage and always do my best!

You see, I learned to pray as a child,
But now I do much more.
Don’t worry…I prey every day…
An invisible force no more,
I am opaque.
Now they see me.
