I won't live up to your Catholic expectations

I took off that cross long ago

My body is withered

I'm too tired to care

It's wet outside

And God isn't there

Reviews

Is he there? Depends on a lot of other questions, I guess. What is "he"? Does his actual existence really matter, or does "he" represent an ideal way of life, or the capacity for love in our hearts, or the beauty we find in each other and in the world.......et cetera, et cetera.
I was raised Christian, and I can't even begin to go into all the wrongness to be found in some of the things I was taught, by my well meaning mom and by preachers.
It's not about living up to any church's expectations. It's only about doing what you KNOW is right.

You always leave the most meaningful thought out reviews. I've lived for a long time trying to experience what most Christian people and catholic say they feel, as if their lives are in Gods hands and all that. I guess i got frustrated because I've never felt really anything like that and i wish I could, or other times i feel its all bullshit. Dont get me wrong I'm not shutting the idea of "him" or a "god" but sometimes i fear theres nothing. I'm just confused ahh

[George Peck]

To me God is there and I doubt once in a while to it's normal. The world is screwed up and how can you not lose faith once in a while. Jake is right in what he said to you. But just wanted you to know you weren't the only one to feel that way.

[Gabby Nieves]

Well that's quite a relief, I don't chuck the idea of God, I'm not that naive. I believe in the beauty of Earth and how things work so well in nature and also the power it has to destroy. I simply feel very lonely on certain days.

[George Peck]

It's funny I feel alone all the time even tho I usually have people around me, but find people who I can relate to or have things in common with seem to help.

[Gabby Nieves]

Same with me, and not many kids my age can understand how I feel. It's like they're there but not really there. People who get it definitely help.

[George Peck]

I am glad it helps but remember you are tour own person and just because your young doesn't mean you need to hang out with the people around your age try to hang out with people that are a little order see if that helps. Your very mature and intelligent for your age so meeting people a little order should help. of course just my opinion.

[George Peck]

You are amazing with how you feel. I can feel pain but at the same time the way your pushing everyone away including God. I can only hope to write as well as you.

[Gabby Nieves]

Wow thank you so much. I'm no role model writer but for someone to feel this way about my writing just feels amazing. Thank you
