Faith

And I'm 6 years old
Begging a god that I've been taught to have faith and believe in
To let my loved ones live forever
I would always say "I don't need anything from you, just keep them safe and happy"
That is all I would ask

I've always seen people begging God for help from something or the other for themselves
But I never asked for help
I always tried to solve my own problems.
Though in the end my parents had to step in when they would notice everything going to shit
Because an 8 year old cannot score well

So I'm crying on the edge of my bedsheets
Realising that people around me are dying
At the rate where even they don't know if they will live to see another day
And it hurts me that they don't want to miss anything out of my life
For I have survived and lived for so long

But all of this makes me think if it was worth it.
