godgodgod


i am not religious but i pray sometimes to whatever is there whenever i am on the edge are you there, god? can you hear me call your name, o creator of old? god, please please listen to me, god the windchimes whisper and god doesn’t respond i was told that god would look out for the sick for the poor for the wicked but please god, i may not be good creator, i need hope i sit alone with hopes of heaven riding on the winds god, if you will not listen there are people and they are dying i am one of them one of far too many, god listen to me, god and i will devote myself to kindness not to you i wonder if you would mind god, they have corrupted you the bells that toll in your honor are cracked and broken please, god if only to save yourself save us, too god i am listening for you are you there, god?
