What did I do for you to treat me like this
I feel like I'm a burden to you
You rarely come visit me
Yet you don't even have a clue
You plan fun things on Sunday
Knowing that I would not go
For, to me, church is way more important
Than anything else, dont you know?
I know this past Sunday
Was the only time you could make
For all the other times were taken
And you didn't want to wait
I wanted to go pretty bad
For, I love beautiful scenery
But, I had my place in the church
Which is where I was going to be
I hate it that I'm the only one
In the family that attends church each week
And it's been so hard especially when I was younger
That's ok though, God does'nt oversee me
What did I do?
For you to stay away
You never visit me
I feel like I've been betryed
You spend time with your boyfriend
Have the time to "go out"
Yet have little or no time for me
I don't know what that is about
At least I have another family
And a Nana who really cares
I know they love me very much
And they will always be there
They help me with my problems
Make me feel warm and loved
They really are my life savers
And are my angels from above
Author notes
I started going to church, about 5 years ago...alone. It was so hard for my to get myself up and ready for church. But, I believe I'm much stronger because of the pain. And, I've been richly blessed with my Nana and second family.
This poem is about my mom and of course, the rest of my family. But mainly, my mom.
Please tell me what you think

Oh, Ashley...I'm so sorry for your pain...I've pretty much given up on going to church, myself. I still have strong faith in God, I just can't bring myself to set foot in a church, lest it be for a funeral. I grew up a PK(preachers' kid), and given what I went through as a child, as a PK, it's hard for me to go into a church, given that my Father was a preacher and had no clue the torture and torment I went through my entire childhood.
I am glad though that you find comfort and repreve in church.
I honestly can't recall actually being "happy" since I was 6yrs old...
Well, my dear, plz take care of yourself, and I'm only an email away if you need to vent.
Much Love,
~Monica

Wow. I don't know who this is about. Is it your mom or dad? This is so sad and so deep. So emotional all at the same time. I can't even imagine what you are feeling like right now and I am sorry that you are going through this. I pray that God will be your strong-hold and continue to guide you through the rest of your life. You are a worthy young girl in the eyes of God. He has blessed you in many ways. ANd he's given you a great talent to write. I am glad that you have been going to church. Even if it was alone. I've been going to church alone since I was 12. My mom has started tagging along with me when I go and my sister goes occasionally now. So its coming around, they are starting to make a change. Just keep praying and be strong and know that God is always there for you and I'll always be here for you too Romans 8:28
God Bless You!!

Awwww! Thank you Charles! The poem is about my mom. I should put that in my authors box, shouldn't I? I'll go do that. Thanks also for all of the encouragement! It means alot to me. I'm glad that your mom started tagging along and that your sister occasionally goes. Thats great! My mom goes to another church, at times. Which I'm thankful for.
Anyways thanks so much!
God bless you, too!
