can you hear me
can you hear me, lord
when i cry
sometimes, i feel like
i could die
my cross is heavy
my path dark
the wounds i carry
leave their mark
can you hear me, lord
when i cry
i am not hard yet
by and by
i wonder if you
hear me lord
sometimes i do
cry to you
when i cry
sometimes, i feel like
i could die
my cross is heavy
my path dark
the wounds i carry
leave their mark
can you hear me, lord
when i cry
i am not hard yet
by and by
i wonder if you
hear me lord
sometimes i do
cry to you

Faith, I agree with the other commenter that this has a "lovely flow" to it. I think it is such a heartfelt, relatable prayer. I like how you included this telling line:
"i am not hard yet"
To me, that line shows an uncommon depth of thinking/feeling. Very thought provoking, indeed! There does seem to be that edge -- that turning point in life -- where one can go either way!
With the last line. I wonder if the inclusion of the word 'out' might (or might not)enhance the beat. So that 'cry to you' becomes 'cry out to you'. I'm not sure but thought I'd throw out the simple suggestion. Having said that, I wish I had only one word to consider as I get around to editing my past poems. :)
It's a beautiful write, my friend!

Once again, you seem to know my life. I have cried those same words. Maybe the answer isn't yes all the time, but He does answer and is always with us.
Wishing you a Happy New Year, filled with joy and poetry.
