I'm feeling that complete emptiness
As if my life is draining and growling at me.
Maybe it's because I forget to eat
Forgetting my literal food
Forgetting my spiritual food
I'm trying to look to the one
Almighty, King of Eternity, Heavenly Father
to fill the emptiness, untie the knot that ties around my ribs.
But instead I satisfy my physical wants
only speeding up the process of my weight loss.
Selfish
Coward
Two qualities that have surfaced and now define me.
I need more faith
I beg of you to give me more faith.

Sanita echoed my sentiments. No coward would have the courage to open up with such candor as you did, Touching.
Thank you!!
Beautiful piece. So vulnerable and raw. An honest plea for help from God. I thouroughly enjoyed this piece. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for enjoying it
Rayne, you are not alone. All of us are selfish and cowards, maybe not all the time, but at least sometimes.
Your writing is very powerful and honest. I do like it.
Never though of my writing to be powerful, thank you
this is beautiful/ I especially love the dichotomy of this line:
'But instead I satisfy my physical wants
only speeding up the process of my weight loss.' wonderful!
Thanks so much:)
