Oh Lord filter my thoughts
I see her with child
And I ask
Why her and not me

I hear a baby cry
And I ask
Why hers and not mine
I see happy people
And ask
Why them and not me
My thoughts of loss
Are driving me to the rugged wall
I can feel insanity
Trying my patience
Haunting even
These thoughts
Keep burning my brain
Eating my cells
Without wanton
Filter my thoughts
I just want to give in
To thoughts of hopelessness
And let life
Take me where it wants
Or is it where I want
