Screaming at the Heavens
There are some points in our life where no matter whether or not we truly believe, we find ourselves screaming out to God for help because at that moment there is no one else left for us.
These words relate to the two moments in my life when I’ve been in this situation. One when I was in the depths of depression and cut a roadmap of pain in 30 lines across my chest. The second when pinned down on my back, screaming in silence, a moment killed part of me.

A little late but I can’t complain.
I want to ask you why
You left me to rot away.
Back then I was so scared,
My prayers not good enough it seems.
You turned your back that day,
Gabriel just closed his eyes.
Your son Christ turned up the TV,
So no one saw what was happening to me.
I was crying for you,
Screaming out for you.
Hoping for a miracle,
Praying one would arrive.
I just want you to know
I’m left scarred, demons still in my head.
Maybe I’m just so bad,
The weed strangling the corn.

something about the first two lines of this poem…...like you have reached a place….not sure if it’s a place of serenity or understanding…but you have arrived there….enough to be able to write about this experience….which I congratulate you for. The last two lines take on another angle….kind of simliar to the first two…in the sense that you have arrived some place…..accepted a harshness about the truth of this world we live in. You are not a bad person however. let me be CLEAR on that…...nothing bad about you at all. Quite brave if you ask me. I can understand your questions though. Some things just don’t make sense.
Awesome piece!

Thanks, I always love your feedback. For me the whole piece represents a moment of venom, like it’s better He is listening at some point. In a way screaming at God is a lot easier than screaming at a world in which these acts can happen.
