My God
Age 15
My god rests in my peers
The need to be liked and known
controlling every action I do
that is outwardly shown
16
My god rests in my fingers
frequent trips down my throat
a gag followed by release
that way my waist I can gloat
17
My god rests in a drawer
sharp and shiny as can be
from small pricks to a straight slash
red is all I see
20
My god rests in a bottle
burning and sour to drink
dulling my senses and pain
I crave more so I can’t think
22
My god rests in a deck
shuffled, dealt, and turned
throwing money away
might as well have it burned
25
My god rests in a club
loud music and girls galore
their clothes for my money
I want less, they want more
28
My god rests in my bed
a new purchased joy
they wait along the streets
so their services I can employ
30
My god rests in a barrel
chilly against my head
many regrets but no goodbyes
then in an instant I lay dead
0
My God rests in a judges chair
knowing I have done wrong
no way to pass the test
in heaven I do not belong
0
My God rests up there
engulfed with sorrow for me
No longer able to choose
a god for every need
