Prayer & a Poem (not related)

I would just like to take a moment to ask for prayer. This semester has seemed really rough at points and I'm not entirely sure why it feels worse than those that have passed but I've been struggling lately and I hate it. I feel like I've been way too self-focused and let a lot of people down. So I humbly ask that you just say a quick prayer for me as I try to finish out this semester strong. Thanks.

This is a poem I saw on a blog(http://www.tommyadams.org/) I found through a friend's blog, just thought it was interesting and I must say I wholeheartedly agree with it's sentiment. Hope you enjoy it.
"The Mourning of Imagination"
I used to live in a land
In which dreams were but a whisper away
A fantastic world of beginnings
Where innocence went out to play.

A canvas untouched by the darkness
Where colors were named by the light
A garden of infinite beauty
That bent to the artist's delight.

A page of unyielding adventure
Where heroes were made of mere men
A place of such pure innovation
That flowed from the tip of a pen.

A symphony of majestic melodies
That bade me to move and to love
Where harmony dwelt with creation
And danced upon clouds up above

Now my dreams are another year older
And my vision has dimmed to be sure
The colors are drowning in sorrow
The battle has lost its allure.

The music has faded to silence
My heart beats with its rhythm no more
Afraid to move in the darkness
Fearing what life has in store.

Return me to that place I plead
Where dreams are but a whisper away
That fantastic world of beginnings
Where innocence goes out to play.
