Fighting With My Faith

I took a leap of
Faith
I leapt and then I
Fell
You promised that you would
Catch me
But with my begging-pleading-screaming
Your hands were not compelled

Now I’m broke and bleeding
Alone and wondering why
You ignored all of my screaming
Did you think that I could fly?

I am NOT an angel
Imperfect in my life
Wings are not a thing I bare
But I’ve borne a lot of strife

My faith in you is waning
My praying place worn bare
I’ve begged and prayed and asked forgiveness
But have you ever cared?

I took you as my God
Your son my only savior
But my strength is ever failing
I’m sorry I wasn’t braver.
