Unicorns in disguise

[faust_ina]

Dear God,
Are you listening?
I mean, really, listen.

When I wanted
some challenge
I absolutely did not mean
a system - a factory that steadily
sucks the air out of you.

My prayers for
more perseverence
did not mean
death by angst nor
a trial against
corporate stupidity.

I know I wished for
improved patience
but how silly of me to
not have expected
endless people
who put it to the test.

Dear God,
on hindsight,
I should have been
more specific.
