Daddy did you know

That I’ve been losing my religion?

I’ve been screaming out to GOD

But he doesn’t seem to listen.

I’ve been shaking my fist

And pounding the floor 

Not understanding what

He’s forsaken me for.

What grave sin have I committed 

In this life that I live

That his grace and mercy are denied me

And he cannot forgive?

I’ve been saying that “I’m tired”

For so long, it’s unheard 

A whispered cry for HELP

Was just another word.

Spoken in desperation 

Still, they did not see

I was no longer capable 

Of saving I or me.

The struggle was too great

Went on for far too long

I was just a shadow in their life

In a world where I never belonged.

Trials and tribulations 

Beat the hope out of me

Till I forgot how to pray

Till I no longer believe 

That God is just

Or God is love

Or that he’s watching 

From up above

Perhaps my words

Are blasphemy 

Look in His book of names

My name you will not see.

He crossed mine out

Why, I don’t know

But I’ve gone as far

As I can possibly go.

At my memorial 

Don’t you dare cry

When I begged for help 

All turned a blind eye.

While on your knees

In whispered prayer

Try asking God

Why He didn’t care?

Shake your fists

At him in rage

Had he shown but some grace

I could’ve been saved.

Are you self aware? 

If not, you should be. For we are incapable of fully connecting with others, if we lack the ability to see ourselves.

Self reflection is vital. It allows you to process, to grow, to overcome, to accept, to change.

We must be willing to see ourselves fully. 

Our Flaws, our irritating habits, our ugly truths, our personal demons. Acknowledging their presence enables you to also see your own light and beauty.

Being self aware, provides you with an expanse of necessary tools like understanding, compassion, empathy, patience and wisdom.

1. Self awareness is the most essential factor for all of us to become better humans. To ourselves and others.
