I am a man without faith

no god
nor construct controls me

and I cannot be fazed
by threats
or warnings
about the after-life

there is life
and there is death
and if there is another life
there’s no way we know
about it

I am a man without faith
I am a man without the answers
that keep many up at night

as I drift into sleep myself
I do not wonder what will happen
if I do not awake in the morning

I know that if I do not awake I cannot be woken
and I know that if I do awake then I have the day
ahead as my concern

for now,
I drift aimlessly
not knowing why I even exist
or why I should continue to
exist

I exist only on the faith
that there isn’t a reason
for all this

that in not knowing

I,
in fact,
know

I am a man with the faith
to have no faith
