My name's Finn and I write poetry, but I never said I did it well.
I do think there's a god, But sometimes I wonder. Why? Why would he allow sin to exist Why do we have to live an entire life of suffering Before we finally see him on the other side? Some people say we chose this life, and it was our free will that caused it. But does that mean there's still sin in heaven? Or is there no free will? If it's the latter we could've just skipped this step And if it's the former is heaven really a place worth going? I don't mean to sound pessimistic about it but I just want to understand. Is this the curse of the tree of knowledge? Obviously sin doesn't exist in heaven. Sin can't exist in God's presence. So that means our ability to sin is gone. So why did it have to be there from the start? All free will does is let me make bad choices. It lets me ruin my life. Maybe I'll ask him tonight, if I'm brave enough

Two trees in the garden
I got everything I ever wanted. A stable job where they all seem to care. I married the girl I've loved since high school. So when does this whole happiness thing start?

Fulfillment
I spent about four hundred on Amazon yesterday Just some stuff I've been wanting for a while That's a whole car payment It's probably okay But a question keeps popping into my head Will I still have any of it a year from now?

Consumer
My addiction to **** haunts me daily Moreso haunts my wife, actually Can't get it up for her when she finally wants me Cause I ****** it just a few hours before It's sad what I'm doing to her But society deems it "normal" and "healthy" Only ones who'll even admit it's bad are the religious types Are we so anti God we have to say it's good just because some priest says otherwise? If it doesn't endanger our comfort it's okay I'm tired of hearing it Sometimes I wish we never invented farming

If it feels good
I thought I prepared myself this time Convinced I could lower my guard I let down my walls for just a second I let them kick me while I'm down But it's winter And I always forget It hurts much worse in the cold

The comeback kid
I know it's all I write about But I just miss being a kid I'd love to not have any problems But I wouldn't want to put my mom through that again

I'm just not who I thought I'd be is all
Sitting on the floor in the middle of the room I scrape my hand on the inside of the bowl And shovel gruel into my mouth. Starving, I scoop another handful down my gullet. Something wet lands in my lap I look down and see my stomach burst open, slop spilling out. A crowded room and no one notices. I stop eating to catch my breath Their heads all whip to my direction Eyes locking on me. My stomach growls I scoop another handful. Everyone goes back to what they were doing. It's probably better this way.

Help
Leaving home is always more difficult than you anticipate It's not just losing your friends or learning new roads It's all the little things you don't think about before you go No one knows your favorite convenience store No one remembers that twenty-five cent palm reader in the K-mart that closed down a few years back No one can sing along to the radio jingles you've grown up with And that goes both ways It's a wonder anyone can make friends as an adult I want to go back home

A foreign town
I went out in the dust storm yesterday Sepia clouds filling the sky, but just on one side Dense clouds obscuring the east Clear as day over the shoulder In moments I was engulfed And I said goodbye to the westward sun As the grains of sand, one by one Pelted me in the face Engulfed in earth Baptised by the world Out of vanity is my unbirth And I don't even flinch
