Believing in something,
I've done for a while,
I was praying to you,
with such a great smile.

I thought you were real,
that you listened to me,
but how do I believe,
if you I can’t see.

I was praying to a god,
that gave me no sign,
no sign of existence,
no words except mine.

Now I have fallen,
I now pray no more,
I’ve walked out on Christians,
behind, shut the door.

I wish I believed,
had something for me,
but how do I believe,
if you I can’t see.

Hmmmm well done......
Of course how do we believe in love? or hate, or frienship. Its not something we see, but feel and have faith in.
He has not left you, sometimes the answer is just no.
I believe there is a reason for everything, often we will never know what it is...Hang in there!
He has given you talent!

Jecks is right. But also remember that sometimes the answer is, "Not Now". You know the saying, "When God shuts a door He opens a window". Well, I joke that my window has been glued shut...lol But faith will not allow me to give up. It just is not an option. So remember even if you turn your back on Him, He will not turn His on you.

Good luck,

J~

We all believe in something, it is what keeps us going, alone or with friends as long as we are happy, with the way we choose to live and die, then all is good, beautiful write.

Givingin
I respect your views and your poem is straight foward to the point.
If we ever get to this place called heaven I think we will find many Atheist there.To be God would have to be all loving all just all truthful and all understanding.
The only thing I if I can suggest is that you ask each day--God if you are lead me to whee you want me to be.
peace and love dear.
