MY SINS BLOCK MY DUA

As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face
It is not salt, but pain that I taste
 
So I leave now to go stand before You
I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?
 
I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a
I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah
 
Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask
For me it is impossible but for You a simple task
 
I try and I try but I do not succeed
But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed
 
I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey
Perhaps that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I will be alone this way
 
I have no to blame but the person in the mirror I see
No one else must pay for my sins, no one else, no one else, no one else but me
 
So I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can
You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar-Rahman
 
I will ask, I will beg but my sins my block my du'a
But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah
