god’s rope.

April 3, 2019

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.
