You Just Don't Want To Know
Can't you hear me?,
I'm screaming for somebody to understand me,
I am crying out for somebody to for once believe in me.
I've dealt with the bitter half as I was given this world while feeling the cold shoulder from others.
Could it be that I am burden?,
Could it be that nobody wants me around?,
Can I be found when I'm lost? or will you leave me be?.
Would you want to know my story? Or
You could care less?,
Do you have the time to even lend a ear or
You just don't want to know.
Lord have mercy on me.
I've been the weeping woman for far too long and all I want is someone to come and wipe these tears away,
Won't you please help me?!.
Lord you know I've done all I could,
I know in the past I wasn't always good,
Done some things I know I should of never done.
But whose to say we are perfect?.
Would you want to know my story? Or
You could care less?,
Do you have the time to even lend a ear or
You just don't want to know.
I'm tired of being the victim of judgement,
You shun me when you least understand me.
You abandon me in the time when I truly need you and come only when I shine at my brightest.
At moments when I needed you at my darkest hours you ran away as I cried my eyes out begging for someone to understand me,
For someone to heal my wounds,
For someone to feel sympathy for me when I needed it,
For somebody to at least care for me.
Would you want to know my story? Or
You could care less?,
Do you have the time to lend a ear or
You just don't want to know.
God, please can you hear me?
I know I was never perfect.
May have been a better sinner than a saint, but tell me why can't I be happy?.
There must be peace and serenity,
I have dreamed of better days but still failed to believe in them.
Oh father, can you please help me?!
I'm asking for your faith!.
Mother, won't you please help me?!
I'm screaming for your faith!.
Out there in the dark,
I will find a beckoning candle.
One day,
Some day soon!.

Oh sorry Dave, I was actually barely done writing this when you posted this comment so I prematurely posted it on accident without finishing the rest lol but anyways well yes at the time when I wrote this I was very, very depressed and felt like I was alone and I remember I was watching " Tyler Perry's I can Do Bad All By Myself" I was thinking about how beautiful most of the songs were in the movie because half of them were gospel but I guess because since I was sad I was able to relate to them so I decided to write this poem as once again like the main character in the movie who lost her faith in God and love while at the same time I'm kind of mainly talking about my depression and putting a hint of gospel inspiration in it.
But thank you for reading I appreciate it :)
