Kicked in the Head

Did you ever pray, "God help me"
with..whatever you believe is lacking in your life.
Then:
Someone says a word and you listen
And think.
And realize.

A bat hits your heart as your head feels the blow;
And you understand
That God has helped you stop being…….
A jerk, a baby, a self-pity potter,....
And you become a person who knows that the only thing
Lacking in your life is you.
