Prayer of the Son

30 days.

Great.

What the fuck am I meant to do?

Travel the world?

Go to bloody disneyland?

My parents aren't made of money.

It's not like it's made out to be.

20 days.

Great.

What the fuck am I meant to do?

Losy my virginity?

It't not like anyone would want me anyway.

Let's face it, I'm not exactly a greek god.

It's not like it's made out to be.

10 days.

Great.

What the fuck am I meant to do?

Go to school?

Is there any

point in getting out of bed?

Should I phone my friends?

And what, make them even more annoyed with me.

It's not their fault.

It's not like it's made out to be.

0 days.

Great.

What the fuck am I meant to do?

I can't be finished.

Not yet.

I haven't had my first kiss

First touch

First love

I regret hoping GCSEs would never come

I regret telling my mum I hate her

I regret not travelling the world

I regret not going to school

I wish I had just one more day

To say the things I had to say

I could be a star

A celebrity

Anyone

If I had the time

I wish I just had one more hour

One minute

One second

Any time would be nice.

But I suppose death will have to suffice.

Prayer of the Mother

Our father,

Who art in heaven,

Hallow be thy name,

Thy kingdom come.

But please, not just now.

I just don't see how.

I asked you.

I begged you.

To get him through.

Have I been unworthy,

Have I been unjust?

For my own life has been played with

My feelings, and 

My trust.

Could you not give him one more chance?

Give mercy a glance?

Thy will be done.

On Earth as it is in heaven.

Then why did you take him

From me?

Why did you leave me

Alone?

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

You expect me to forget this?

You expect him to forgive me?

I should've let him go to parties.

I should've let him have a girlfriend.

I should've worked harder,

To get him

That bike

That book

The love he needed

Because it's too late for him to have it now.

And lead them not into temptaion,

But deliver them from evil.

Please, Lord,

Do not lead me into temptaion.

And deliver my son from Evil.

For thine is the 

Kingdom

the

Power

and the

Glory.

Amen.
