Why am i like this

A Poem by David Elijah
"

junethird2018. a rap and a prayer.

"
I've been feeling like i'm not human as of late.
Don't talk to anybody used to have a lot to say.
And if i'm being honest i've forgotten how to pray.
I don't feel a thing and i'm about to graduate.
Am i numb to the spirit am i dumb in my faith?
Is my life just a facade a fake image i portray?
Am i recognized by God didn't he design my face?
'Cause i don't feel it God despite knowledge of Your grace.

Every time i hear Your words i've been quick to fall asleep.
Every time i go to church all i wanna do is leave.
Every time i try to turn i turn on the incognito see
But how can i be doing that when i choose to believe
In Your promises. the opposite of what grabs my attention.
There's problems in these office walls that i choose not to mention.
My eyes demand to be pleased like i need it to survive.
God i hope you understand that i don't want this life.

I could fill a backpack with excuses not to go.
I can hear the laugh track 'cause my life is just for show.
You might feel differently about my purpose yea i know
But i'm my biggest enemy and i can't stand him anymore.
I always put off trying to change because i know i won't.
Like maybe when i'm hydrated i'll begin to grow.
For now i might be ill-fated to ease my head with every vice.
Maybe that's why my cross faded no concern has crossed my mind.
