They say god is everywhere, right?
That its helpful, that it loves us?

Where was god when I almost died?
In his hands, My neck, his knife?
Where was god the second time?
In his smile, at the end of My life?

Where, when I was abused?
In their voices, their hands, My fear?
Where is god now its over?
In My flashbacks, shaking, in tears?

Where was god when I was bullied?
In the school, in the kids, in the words?
Where was god through all those years?
Lonely, cornered, unheard.

Where is god now? Im still suffering
In My struggles, in My life, in My work?
They say god is everywhere, right?
it's never helped Me, that's for sure.
A lot of people feel comforted by their religion when something bad happens, however for me this is most definitely not the case.
I've noticed a lot of people say "god bless you" or something similar, instead of trying to fix problems. A lot of the time its a problem that puts my life at risk.
You can have your relationship with god, but ive already abandoned mine.
