maybe we are not
so scared of the dark
maybe we welcome it
and the secrets it holds

look,
i know i'm going
nowhere in life.
i've got that.
but why do you have to
remind me?
why is this necessary?
i have plenty of bad
opinions of myself, thanks.
you don't have to add to the pile.

I'm not very religious
I go to church,
but only because I like
the people there.
I don't pray,
I don't read the bible,
I don't sing songs in His name,
I guess I just don't understand the
concept of God.
I think,
if I were God,
I'd feel lonely.
people asking me for
help.
guidance.
love.
health.
but no one asks,
"hey, God.
how are you?"
