I am Not of Name

I am not of name and I have no secret game
Lost in the world of living
I can sense the darkness in even the brightest light
Innocence was never really true
Only a lie devised to trick me and you

I once saw the devil himself
He told me to prepare for hell
I wandered down a road that I had never seen
And I knew then that I was not meant to be

Living my life is useless now
While the world suffers ever more and I drag my feet behind

Look again
My life was fleeting and it meant nothing in the end
I was searching for a higher being yet I was pushed away
God said he didn't accept anyone anymore

I told him my story of woe he said I don’t care
Didn't you give me my suffering for a reason then?
No, no, no, no, no I don't care
I threw you all down there for a reason

I knew you could survive on your own
But you and everyone have created your own sin
So there I stood in the rain crying silently
Not sure why my heart ached so

Falling again into the darkness I've always know
Never to reach the fleeting light again
I saw the evil within men and saw the truth behind it then
So don't ask me why I wish to die
Don't ask me why I still continue to pray
Even to this day
I believe...
Yes...
I believe...

    Well you had me going for a minute. I thought you were giving up on God when he certainly never gives up on us.. I loved it when I got through it. We all go through that period of slight doubt in the beginning. Never fear because he is there and will do as he says...Trina.

    Whew! I thought the person would give up but as I continued reading at the end,there's a little light in the dark,awesome poem! It kept my attention that's for sure.

    Never blame God on our sins for we have the freedom to choose on what to do and we have the sense on what is right or wrong.

    WOW! Very powerful! I loved the voice of this poem. A voice of commanding desperation and resignation. Super job, keep it up!
