Your People

Oh Lord, I am hurting,
I am angry with your people.

I feel so lost and abandoned.
Why aren’t they comforting me?

I don’t want to be told what to do,
I want someone to listen.

I want to be pursued.
Why doesn’t anyone pursue me?

I know you are a God of love,
Yet I don’t feel love from your people.

I feel so betrayed, oh Lord.
Why do your people turn away?

I want to be known,
Yet I don’t feel that anyone has time for me.

I feel so rejected and isolated.
Where are your people?

I know that they are not who you are,
Yet it is hard for me to separate the two.

I know you are loving and kind,
Aren’t they supposed to be too?

I want to feel your presence,
Yet I feel so far from you.

I know you have said you will be my provider.
Why do I feel like I am going under?

Even though I am full of doubt,
I know you are my Shepherd and will provide what I need.

A Lament... and yet hopeful.

How can I improve this?

    thought provoking

    Definitely an interesting read, I'm not much into the bible or religion but I thought it odd to be defined as god's people. I never thought that I belonged to god and in my 25 years I came to the conclusion that I belonged to nobody. Anyhow, I thought this poem was nicely written, a very interesting write no doubt.
