Tribulation of Richard

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

The truth of Abel is a lidocaine
But you can’t even numb the pain
The truth is I can’t stop my brain
The pain is making me insane

I want to scream and thrash about
But I can’t even let it out
My tears now rolling like a stream
I only want to cry and scream

O Lord please help me; hear my prayer
The discipline is just and fair
But don’t leave me here in despair
Help me Father. In Jesus name, Amen.
