You With No Answers

Fact We are all going to lose Everyone we love I wonder if you hear Or it’s just a broken Prayer If you intended all this If you can even bring yourself to look I wonder if you really know Or am I, are we Just a random act A Man with such Conviction Compassion and forgiveness Can sit idle As a child, his child withers away While a mother prays with her last breath You really sit up there in your heaven Watching and hearing And staying silent So what is it that you will save me from If I fool myself into faith Because the only gift you really give You take back in the end I’m going to live I’m going love I’ll pray, I’ll Sin I’ll make mistakes And if I ask you will forgive You have no choice You’re Guilty too

I can relate to this Elizabeth - I have been there and had those same thoughts - I learned that it is done to prepare you to be strong enough to get through what is going to be tougher than this event down the line. If you cannot mentally get through this - you will not be strong enough for the next. Write it down and rid the anger onto the paper until you have nothing else to write. It works.
