Giving up religion for Lent
for someone who isn't sure
if God exists
I find myself thanking this entity;
for being "on time",
and for hearing my hushed sobs.
But then it feels like
it's forgotten me
I blame this "God" for
shitty circumstances.
If our lives are made of our choices,
but I continue to do the right thing,
why am I still so fucked?
My anger chokes me.
I know life isn't fair
but I'm wondering
if it is even balanced.
and fuck a being
who allows so much suffering
from his most "loyal soldiers"
Any question you ask regarding God
has some meaningless answer.
"He is always on time."
"His most loyal soldiers are given
the most/hardest tests."
Fuck you
and fuck him
I don't want to believe
a sadistic fuck
continues to watch his most
loyal followers
go through so much pain.
I really don't want to hear that
our bodies are just vessels
and this shit is just temporary;
to just hang on
and focus on an eternal afterlife.
It's of no comfort
IT
IS
OF
NO
COMFORT
I want to scream the words
into the pores of
every religious fuck
who has ever shamed me
for having questions.
I want them to drown in my tears;
I've already learned to
swim in my sorrow.
Sometimes I feel like
I just can't do this
that I'm a mistake
that I'm not meant for this life.
No matter how hard I try
to be good
patient
kind
compassionate
These things don't change
the inevitable.
