Chosen Path

Why is it, God, I sense
that you are mocking me?
My best efforts appear evermore futile
As you observe me
scornfully

You realise that without hope
or a goal
It's impossible to score
Work Sleep Eat
Eat Sleep Work
Is that all this life is for?

The more sadness you lay at my doorstep
Greater the chance
I'll drift and choose
The path of least resistance
Which the devil has offered
me to peruse

On that dark path
I've glimpsed twisted redemption
An opportunity to be free
Satan offers up gifts of temptation
And a promise he'll watch over me..

Understand, right now
I feel abandoned
Deserted, lost and forlorn
I've grown weary of this life's tribulations
I'm jaded, disillusioned and worn

One sign alone would do it
A simple twist in my fortune will suffice
With some proof to show in some way
it's worth it
Then I'd turn back to You
without thinking twice.

Great stuff very moving 😊

Not necessarily my beliefs...just a viewpoint😌

👿 Hail Satan!

Wow... Food for thought me thinks 😌

This is beautiful very meaningful, regardless of religion faith is a powerful belief. Beautiful piece.

@Fly10 Know how you feel sometimes!! ;)

@LivingDeadGirl I agree, faith is a powerful thing, and your language choice in this poem is perfect. Sometimes deep words ruin the flow, but here they work perfectly.

*by 'your, I meant Fly10

@MrAlex Thanks for comment & RP 😌😘

@naaviie Yep, guess you can see how it happens😔 Thanks for comment 😘

@Nom @LivingDeadGirl Thank you both for comments and views. I attempted to portray this from the viewpoint of someone who perhaps has negligible faith..but would like to know there was SOMETHING. Conversely, there are other examples whereby people use their beliefs to exonerate & then redeem themselves-somewhat fake. The character in this piece, I feel, is just lost😔 RP much appreciated 😌

@MrsS It's not actually based on me...but easily could have been in the past 💔😰😖👿...💘😌😄❤

@Weirdwolf Plenty about who worship the 'dark' side 😉 Glad you liked😘

@Fly10 oh I see. I interpreted it as somebody who once had faith, lost it for whatever reason and now was despairing at their lack of faith, looking for a sign that it isn't folly to have faith. However, that's the beauty of poetry; we all see things differently, and the best poetry polarises viewpoints.

Mocking me & scornfully... Love it 👍

@Nom EXACTLY. And I really appreciate your feedback-it's fascinating to know others interpretation & how the words take shape

@Nom I've lost ALL faith in the send button😠 To summarise, thank you for comment 😉😘

@Burrfoot Thanks for feedback-always good to know the parts/line that may have stood out😌😘

@Fly10 haha! And as I've said in the past, I really value your comments too.

All the best sweetie 💚

@Fly10 fantastic piece Leigh. I read it said he/she were walking a tightrope - stay on, all good. Fall... Brilliant. 👍😘

@leelee101 That was almost my thought pattern when writing...of someone finding it harder & harder to balance, with the temptation of the fall becoming overwhelming😔 Really appreciate the feedback & 😘😘 for RP too 😊

@Nom thank you for agreeing and @Fly10 thanks for your contribution it's very relatable I agree it could have related to myself in the past, I especially loved the 'mocking me' I think many who have lost faith and felt that. Thanks again for sharing.

Lovely but sad 😥 hope you are ok @Fly10
