Right-Side Up Crosses

Jesus? where are you?
I can't seem to find you anywhere
I have searched into Jordan, yet you weren't there,
I gathered at holy ground, but your presence was nowhere to be found,
I don't know exactly what I haven't done to find you around , but
I've been lost after your father created me, and seemed to vanish,
I scoured the bible for your doings, sometimes I feel like I'm not your favorite,
But that is suitable, since I am nobodys either
Jesus? Please don't be mad, I'm not blaspheming, I just confided in you,
Rarily what I do with other people, 
Everyday is a struggle, to just keep living,
My smiles and grins are false, and anger is causing my body to break down,
Everynight, I dream of never waking up again,
Jesus? am I naive to believe that you ever left,
Were you here all along? If so I just refuse to understand,
Why a relic like you, would even consider, taking time out of your day for me
