Faith
October 24, 2013
Someone preach me a religion,
A dilapidated vision,
A pathetic convolution,
I need some faith now.
I need a God,
Need a father,
Someone to raise me above the gutter.
I need a God,
Need a friend,
Someone to drink with in the end.
Someone teach me a religion,
A related competition,
A benevolent addiction,
I need some faith now.
I need a God,
Need a teacher,
Someone to make my thoughts matter.
I need a God,
I need you,
Someone to tell me all the truth.
I need some faith now.

you are a really amazing writer! this work is really good because i think everyone at one point or another has felt the same way. keep up the great work, i like ur writing!
huh. I really like this. im not big into religion, much less people trying to impose their religions onto me, but i can fully and truly understand the desire to have something to hold onto, and i get why people have religions, even if i dont really seem to. does that make sense? anyhow, i love the way you wrote this, and i think it deserves a spot in the magazine. :) nice job.
