171. Ignorance Fallen from grace, Lost faith, Unforgiveable ignorance, And inconvenient knowledge. I can no longer think of either of us, The same as when you had my trust, as when I had my respect. At times, I only wish to eject, You wholly from my life. Go back to before, to focus only on the holy, to before, when God was who I prayed to, who I expected to: Save a wretch like me. who I always wanted: To believe. But you, like Him, seem present only on a whim. I'm through with absent heroes and, Misplaced worship of what's on the surface. I miss when the words I heard from you Carried more than just their own weight. I can no longer stay up late to debate Your strength and my weakness. I can't forgive all you don't know. Because when I needed to confess Was an inconvenience. My life may be a mess. But I no longer want either of your help To clean it up. Fallen from grace, Lost faith, Unforgiveable ignorance, And inconvenient knowledge.

Wow! Pretty heavy there. You definitely evoked emotions with this piece-Anger, Betrayal, and Disappointment. I hope this is creativity writing and that you are not in such a sad place.
Thank you for reading =)
All 215 of my ‘misplaced missives’ are actually older poems I wrote when I still lived in MD. Thankfully, a lot has changed since then =P ha I’m glad my emotions conveyed well though, this was super cathartic to write at the time.
