So long I've suffered, traveled through the unpleasantries
of life 1st class without an acceptable reason,
So I blamed you,
Cried so many nights, through disappointments and lost lives,
opportunities slip from my grasp without letting go,
I blamed you once more,
Lived life honestly and I honored thee, for you gave life to me, if
not for you, I would not breathe,
But faith and trust descended as struggles of life apprehended
my soul and you weren't present to set it free,
I no longer believe,
Wisdoms words spoke to me saying this is how life is supposed
to be, you have to struggle before being set free,
Struggles in life prepare you for this land, so when life deals
it's cards, you'll know how to play your hand,
It tests your faith when you fall from your feet, and you can't
seem to rise from your knees, you have to have faith to still believe
you will be set free,
Wisdoms words don't inspire me,
So I start believing in me, they're my struggles in life,
I can set myself free, why should I believe in something I can't see,
I prevailed through driving in the fast lane, Couldn't believe how far
I came.... made a wrong turn...back on my knees again,
I'm ashamed, I cannot face you,
I've become lost, and I still blamed you, not realizing it was me
who lost faith in you...and you still loved me,
It was you who believed in me regardless of my sins,
I repent
Author notes
I don't know much about God or the bible anymore because when troubles arose....I suffered alone. It is just about how I felt at one time about suffering (not taking responsibility for my actions)and how I want to have God in my life now. Although he never left me...I left him. Hope you like it.

This is really nice- and it is a poem with real substance. I wish I had such strong faith as you- Even though I believe God is real, he killed and cursed more people in the Bible than the handful he blessed! I think my chance is greater that I am on his cursed side, no matter how much I actually believe in in him. And let's say he does actually love me, it won't make much difference in this life- where he doesn't seem to rescue people out of difficult oppressing situations anyway. Look it all the wars, hollocaust victims, children trapped in child abuse, accident victims, murdered victims- where is God in all this?
So I find it amazing that you can have such strong faith- that you are one of the chosen ones that God will protect. -
I really liked this one. It sort of seemed like a rap to me, actually. I don't know if it was intended to be or not...Anyway, I like it. A deep message you penned here. Great job and keep up the wonderful work! Best of luck in the contest.
