“Meanwhile, where is God? This is one of the most disquieting symptoms. When you are happy,so happy that you have no sense of needing Him, if you turn to Him then with praise,you will be welcome with open arms. But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain and what do you find? A door slammed in your face and a sound of bloting and double bolting on the inside. After that, silence. You may as well turn away.”
C.S.Lewis
A Grief Observed
It’s raining. It’s paining. As the pain falls outside, another pain makes me fall on the inside of me.
Question, Why am I alive? Why am I living?
Truth, I don’t know.
That tears me apart everyday cause I just go through life hoping this will be it you know. This will be the day I dropped down and die. My last day on this God forsaken planet. No love, no wife, just a lot of stuff in my life. Stuff to point to as achievements. A house, a car, overdraft in the bank and then what? This don’t love me back. These don’t talk back to you. It’s just a house and not a home. It’s just car and and not a baby as I called. Just stuff.
I lay there everyday thinking of how other people with very little compared to what I have, have so much love in the lives. How their lives are so fulfilled and rewarding. How with the least that they have can live and look forward to the next day. Dream about the future and make plans towards that. But mina, niks, fokol. I have all these women in love with me, all wanting to be with me. Yet mina all I want to do is be with sum1 that I am not sure even wants to hear about me, even worse about us. I am caught up in my past and that is drowning me fast. I love the Katt.
There is this pain inside of me that leaves me lying awake at nite missing her. I hurt her. I hurt her badly to such an extent that she doubted herself and found fault in herself. Truth is I was the one who was never content with what God had blessed me with. I am the one with a problem. And now I sit here in the valley of tears ke lela metsutsu. Hoping, singing if I could turn back the hands of time. Time. Tick Tock, waits for no man. Pain showing on my face as tears raining down my cheek. I Don’t wanna be here or something drastic must change.
But Lord why does pain rhyme with rain cause it never stops. With arms wide open
