To Whom It May Concern

To the Big Man who lives upstairs, Can you tell me why I’m here? What purpose do I really serve Is this really what I deserve? Mr Boss Man, who knows all my dreams Please let one come true for me I don’t ask you for much Maybe that’s why my life is as such To the Director of this universe, Can you not see, See what this world is doing to me What must I do to make it through? To the Great All Mighty, I’m on my knees I’m saying my prayers and saying please Please give me the strength to survive Or give me the courage to use this knife Let me be at one with you, Take me to heaven show me the way Please don’t keep me here anymore This is not the life I signed up for Please tell me Father of All, what must I do I promise I’ll be good for you If you keep me here, I’ll just find ways Ways to make it through your gates So please God, whoever you may be Today I’ll put a pound in for another a dream I’ve written you a letter , it’s in the box too Promise me you’ll read it before I meet you Its addressed to “Mama” but it’s really for you Perhaps you could let her read it too Hopefully amongst all the pain You’ll see what I’m really trying to say. And at the end I mean what I say, Please keep all my family safe, And if I do happen to leave Please give them the strength not to grieve So to the Creator of All, who gives me strength Let me know what you think Send me a sign, any will do And I’ll let you know I’m always thinking of you And as for Mama, I know she’ll be cross Let her know I’m just lost Maybe if she could light may way I might just find the strength to stay. So to God, the one and only I’m sorry if this is a little moany I’m just so tired, I need to sleep My brain needs to re-charge and think So please read my letter, if you will And I’ll wait to hear what you think Until that day I promise I’ll be good And I’ll keep you with me to keep me safe

Hi Anna thank you for your lovely comment! No you didn't offend...your right it can be read as a little ungrateful as it were...but you know when your down you often tend to ask questions to the great unknown...I look forward to reading your work and thanks for stopping by :-)

With religion aside, this is a BRILLIANT poem! I adore the way you found a different comparison for God (the one and only) at the beginning of every verse. I also love the whole idea of sending a letter and it being for mom, but not really. Although, "perhaps you could let her read it too." I love, love, love this! The only thing that has me concerned is the lack of glory and honor you give to Jesus Christ. There is only one God my friend. He went through so much suffering for us.
