Disdain

Born upon loving wings of scorn; 
forced through amorous efforts to make my life adorn.
Told how to feel and how to proceed;
 why won’t anyone listen to me?
Believe me, please! 

I try hard, I really do; 
but through hypocritical persuasion we’re forced to care only for you.
God, Allah, Yahweh, and Krishna alike, 
to all of you I have called in my imprudent life.
Yet the only answer I have received, is not the one I need.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
