All I feel is pain,
Tonight.
As I'm standing in the rain,
Under a pitch black sky.
I'm out here by myself,
Trying to get some of these
Bad feelings out.
Then you are by my side,
Asking me if I'm alright.
And I say

Chourus:

I'm not okay.
I'm not alright.
I'm not doing good,
Tonight.
'Cause I've got bad feeling,
Inside,
That I just can't seem
To hide.
I don't know what to do,
'Cause I am so confused,
About what you're telling me
To believe.


I went back inside,
And straight onto my bed.
And as I cried,
I thought things through in my head.
Like how I have doubts,
About what you have taught me.
Things like how
Life came to be.

(Chourus)


I cried, and cried, Oh I cried.
while I tried, and tried, Oh yeah I tried,
To understand
What to believe in.
A loving God,
Or evelution.
But still,

(chourus)

I think about how people struggle to understand what is true, and I have also struggled. But I found that God is true, and I hope readers will find the same. Hope you like. :)

"Books are a uniquely portable magic." - Stephen King

I love books, and I love technology, but I don't want to see the latter overwhelm the former. I just think books are meant to be pages you turn, not screens you scroll through.

Wow, you did a great job with this! I bet it would be even better if you made it into an actual song! :)

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of Gods great love, we are not consumed. His compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I really love this. I have a relationship with God myself and I know someimes people doubt during the hard times in life sometimes but....you know....that's why you need faith.

I like your alternating ryhmes, a GREAT way to create emphasis. Although we have a huge stylistic difference (for one I'm not a big fan of chrous structuring, but you make it work.) I liked this, but the last stanza kind of threw me off as well.

oh! Sorry, I get what you mean now! lol the last verse is the bridge, so it has a different beat than the rest of the song.

The beat I wrote this with goes along with it just fine, so I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing to read and create a beat that goes with it. But thanks for the comment! :)

I can feel the rhythm here except in the last verse seems to interrupt that flow, but it might just be the beat i was using for the poem.
