I prayed to God that he will take away my habit

"I can only guide you, and you must be the one to have the strength to give it up."
I prayed to God to take away my friend's impurities.

But only heard,
"You must learn to be patient; I will send guidance."
I prayed to God to make me a more joyous person.
But I only heard,
"I give you blessings and miracles, and you must decide whether to be happy about it or not."

But I only heard,
"Offer it up in reparation, for through suffering you get closer to me."

But I only heard,
"Have faith, and do good works."
I ask God to help me love others just as he himself loves the world.

"You will be blessed; go in peace to love and serve, I, the Lord."

Who says I dont care?
I don't care who you are
I don't care what you were
But if you are with me,
I will care about you
I don't care where you live
I don't care what you live in
But if you have no reason to live,
I will help you find your reason
I don't care what relationship you had
I don't care who they were with
But if they hurt you,
I will be there for you
I know I don't care about many things
I know I'm blunt and insensitive at times
Just know that
I am your friend and you are mine
I may not care at times, but right now I do
I'm not insensitive because I still care for you

Kiss
Knees bend, hands shake,
Lips part, hearts break,
Blood pumps, thoughts fly,
Bodies melt, worries die,
Heads swim, fingers touch,
Tongues rub, clothes bunch.
Butterflies, adrenaline,
Testosterone and estrogen,
We fit like a glove, so...
Kiss me again, love?

I'm Really Not Okay
When I whisper of my woes
How can anyone hear
When the din of their own lives
Is ringing in their ears
Forcing a smile as they glance
Frown as they look away
Please somebody turn around
I'm really not okay
You refuse to see the signs
A deluge of denial
Drowns out my facial features
The absence of a smile
Obliged to ask how I am
Your concerns I allay
But then again I would do
I'm really not okay
Hold back the transparent tears
A dam of repression
I'll be damned if anyone
Sees through my confession
Slowly my world unravels
Life's tapestry will fray
My pain has been tailor made
I'm really not okay
I write poems

Edit:
Weeeeeeeeellllllllll I edited this so that I wouldn't be a "thief". So, ya happy now? Actually, I kinda expected "hate" comments, but hey, gotta satisfy the public, right? So, I made it my own. Did the best I could. Still don't like it? Ain't my problem.
That is all. Thank you for your patience.

It seems the uploader has departed for other pastures, according to her last journal entry in 2013, but I am glad that this is still here for all to see.
For those not sufficiently acquainted with scripture, allow me to supply what seems to be the likely inspiration for this piece, namely, 2 Corinthians 12:7b-9 : "...To keep me from becoming overly exalted, I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to keep slapping me, so that I might not be overly exalted. 8 Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it would depart from me. 9 But he said to me: 'My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you, for my power is being made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly, then, I will boast about my weaknesses, in order that the power of the Christ may remain over me like a tent."
Paul, a former persecutor of the Christian congregation, had been commissioned for a ministry, and he did his utmost to fulfill it, along the way experiencing many trials. The above passage is one passage among many where he speaks of the obstacles he faces.
