“Hello”

Sable McPherson

Sometimes you seem so far

Sometimes you feel so near

Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I fear

Do I belong here?

Where do I stand?

I hear them say that I’ll

Never be snatched from Your hand

They tell me not to do things

Like killing myself

Sometimes I feel like I need to die

To not give pain to someone else

But what would happen

If I were to die?

Did I live a truth

Or did I live a lie?

Only You know what’s in my heart

Something tells me I’ve loved You

Right from the very start

This might be short

But I’ve gotta go

Church is now starting

But I just wanted to say Hello.

A/N: This was written on the nineteenth of March. I was feeling upset about what had happened on the twenty-seventh of January, thinking that I hadn't been talking to God much. This was just a message to God saying that I still believed in Him... sorta. Even though it felt like I was clinging onto Him when I was eighteen feet off the ground. At least, that's what it felt like spiritually. Like it said in this poem, it was in the beginning of the service. And even though I'm not Baptist and I was in a Baptist church, I was desperate to learn more about God because He felt so far away at the time.

I hope you enjoyed it.
