Amen

The rain pours down.
I walk alone.
Where will I go?
Even I don’t know.

I’ve been lost for some time.
Just wandering about.
Hating this life.
I wait patiently to die.

I fear I may never
be able to escape!
This anger and sadness
For which I have forever faced.

I pray to God every night
Begging Him for my life.
I ask him to please
Take me away tonight.

He never listens;
He really sits in Heaven and laughs.
He watches me fall on my face;
He sits, and He claps.

I’m joke to you, God?
Is that what this is?
I make you laugh when I cry?
Will you sit and watch me die?

Is it that you want me up in Heaven so bad?
You see the spirit you have killed,
And you want to take me by the hand.
I’m special God, can’t you see?

I'm special God, please!
Give me the happiness I’ve struggled to see!
I know there is good out there,
I’ve not given up hope.

But I’m seconds away from overdosing
On pity or Coke.
Help me, please, I beg you.
Don’t let me die.

Give me the happiness
I beg for each day and night.
I still love you God
Despite the jokes you’ve played.

I still love you despite
this misery I face.
Dear God, please help me.
I love you, Amen.

This was a great little piece! It flowed well and I like how despite the suffering you look to God and praise him and love him anyway.

Great write!
