I Asked A Man Who I Could Talk To About The Fire In My Body And He Pointed Up

I Asked A Man Who I Could Talk To About The Fire In My Body And He Pointed Up

A Poem by Marie A. Maya
"

I'm actually Buddhist but I thought it'd be fun to write about this

"
Hey God,
can you hear me?
Are you there?
I'm in need of a favor, a question.
Could you, would you
put this life on pause
until I'm able to catch my breath
because lately it's been running away.
Put this life on hold
while these reminders slowly, painfully heal
and turn to scars that will fade away.
Put this life on pause
so these roller coaster emotions can level
and I'll remember what it's like not to be numb.
Put this life on hold
so I can figure out my future now
instead of waiting a month before it's due.

but I understand, I get it if you can't.
There's wars to end, people to hate
and cities to fill with dead bodies.
So I guess that maybe I'll find the stop button
because things are getting a little out of hand.
So please don't be mad that I'm killing your handmade creation
but you haven't taken very good care of me.
You let an illness burn my insides
and let these thoughts take over my limbs.
So I guess in the end,
this turns back to you because I never asked to be this way.

I Questioned God Once. I fell off a cliff and learned a Lesson. God Made You the way you are to honer him to not question. You are the way you are because of something out of your power so allow God to come into your life to fix you. You have to try to stop and pray everyday.
