god’s rope.
i don’t believe in god anymore because
when i needed him the most—
he never answered me.
i used to try to pray the pain away,
and hope god can rescue me from the hate and death that constantly surrounded me. when i surrendered, sometimes it was silently.
when i choked from the rope everyone came running to me.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
