Faith

A poem about struggling with faith.

Disclaimer: I respect every religion and people’s faith. This poem is about my struggles with my faith in myself and my beliefs. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to anyone’s religion or beliefs.

Dear God,
Do you believe in God?
In yourself. In your kindness and your wrath?
In your miracles and your destruction.
In your love and your forgiveness.
In the regret for what you’ve become.

Dear God,
Do you believe in me?
That there’s hope.
In my dreams. In my fears and my prayers.
In my ambition and my passion.
In the regret for what I’ve become.

Dear God,
Do you believe in us?
In these creatures called humans?
In our love and our fighting spirits.
In our mistakes and our cruelty.
In the regret for what we’ve become.

In the belief that things can change.
In the belief that everything’s going to be okay.

Dear God,
Can you restore my faith?
In you and myself.
That the world isn’t a horrible place.
That kindness can flourish even in the cruelest of worlds.
Please, just tell me.
That everything’s going to be alright.
