He sat down, contemplating his faith with pen and ink, he wrote a letter - Dear God, I've been feeling so sick lately. My ribs feel like they're caving in.. So young, dear god, so young and sick. My eyes aren't quite focused and trust me if I'd known that my life would be so shortened, dear god, I'd grasp my own hand and lead myself to nowhere. And what do you care, god, if I live or die? It would mean one less prayer, and one less life to hold. I struggle with what to believe in.. I wonder if that's why, god, why I've been feeling so sick. |

Very troubling read. I can relate to this. And there is no doubt staring into the abyss causes strain. Enjoyed just the same. |
