I Lost My Faith

One morning, I stumbled upon faith Outside the doors of heaven’s gate Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me give it to you straight I once had a temper with a rage Hot enough to melt a steel cage I lost my faith and that’s a reality Lost were positives aspects of my personality Crime and drinking was my trait My slogan was 'Don't mess with me mate! ' Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me narrate, I was overweight, I had no dates I lost my faith on the doors of possibilities Realising the world does not strive for equality They scorned me for what I was I lost my faith with its many flaws Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me update, with the intention to frustrate By now you should understand We all live in no man’s land I thought, with exploding populations What hope is there for our future generations? So what is this faith? So why keep the faith? Then the answer came knocking on my door Love and peace, unity, strength and more I thought, “Why didn’t I think of this before? ” A peaceful quietness above all Faith in me has been re-installed Copyright 2008 - Sylvia Chidi
