Hey I wrote this poem the other night, Let me know what ya think. It is being published in a local newspaper.

Are you there?

Are you there God?
I am asking because I cannot feel you.
Are you there God?
I am asking because I cannot see you
Are you there God?
I am asking because I cannot hear you.
Are you there God?
I am asking because I do not feel led by you.

Are you there my child?
I am asking because you never reached out for me.
Are you there my child?
I am asking because you never looked around to find me.
Are you there my child?
I am asking because you never read my word.
Are you there my child?
I am asking because you never seek my guidance.

Are you there God?
I am asking because I would like to know why I am so confused.
I’m here my child
Confusion comes to those whom do not seek knowledge.
Are you there God?
I am asking because I would like to know why the world was so chaotic and violent today.
I am here my child
I am sorry but I have no answer for your question, for they took me out a long time ago.

Not bad! :thumbsup:

I think what you're saying is pretty much the truth.

As far as spelling, no errors, language, one line needs a wee bit of tweaking. Proofreading always helps.

I think you're way ahead of me, sweetie, of where I was when I was 20. You go, girl. :hug:

And congrats on being published. :thumbsup: Woo-hoo!

Congrats on your poem being published :thumbsup: . As for what I think - I think it speaks volumes as I can relate to what you have written. There have been times in my journey where I have asked that same question.

Keep up the good work.
