I wait, kneeling.
As my legs go numb.
You don’t answer me.
Ever.
No matter what, no matter when.
You are never there for me.
But I stay true to you.
Ever faithful.
Never doubting.
Not questioning your word.
I am the perfect follower.
Until now.
I pray.
I kneel down in your holy places
Until my knees are bloody.
Waiting for a response that never comes.
Why?
What have I done that is so wrong?
Please, God.
Just listen to me.
Help me.
Don’t guide me.
Just help me.
Give me anything.
A sign?
Banishment?
Punishment?
Burning?
What do you want?
What will it take for you to listen?
You are said to love all.
To forgive and love.
So what have I done to deserve this?
I can not follow blindly.
I need you to help me with this.
Anything.
Will I be punished for doubting?
Punished because you were never there?
Because I needed help?
Because I prayed.
And you never listened.

I would like to say that God never neglects any of his creations. Infact in every step we take he is with us. All I'd say is 'whatever he does,he does it for good' even if we lose something there's always something good out of it.
You have all rights to question him in anguish,but never lose faith.
Well done,
Pisces. -
