1193. I have sincerely prayed

```

I have sincerely prayed.

Heaven has not given me anything.

I have soulfully prayed.

Heaven has mercilessly deceived me.

I have silently meditated.

God has not given me anything.

I have cheerfully meditated.

God has deliberately ignored me.

Alas, I need Heaven

To smile at me powerfully.

Alas, I need God

To love me sleeplessly. ```
