TITLE: Oh God, Where Are You?

By: Ricky Flowers

Where are you God?
It seems I ask more and more
Have you forsaken me?
Or, have I closed the door

It seems I’m spiraling out of control
It seems you are out of reach
With everything that’s happened
Have I forgotten the word you teach?

I always hear you calling
But I hear the other more
Responding to the dark side
Though I know what is in store

Oh God why do I insist?
On going down that road
That leads to death and destruction
I feel I’m going to explode

Some days I can’t remember
What I did the day before
I have to sit and think
That’s happening more and more

A lot of times I’m sad
Tears well up in my eye
I think the bottle helps me
But sometimes I want to die

I think of death
God, can’t you take me home
Away from all this heartache
Where I’m so all alone

It is the same prayer
I prayed many years ago
As a child abused and neglected
And left to feel so low

I don’t see a silver lining
I don’t see a beautiful end
Into darkness and despair
I shall descend……….
