I refuse to think that I am blind. In fact, my eyes are open to the truth. I have been searching for answers, but I have only been met by silence.
I kneel in despair and surrender my fate, but I have never been answered. It becomes clear then, that the answers I’m looking for are nowhere to be found.
I see the horrors created by faith, and monsters created by blind following. And I tell myself, I shall not risk my beautiful creation and fall into the dwells of hell on earth.
I understand that morality does not equate faith. And I’ve seen the helpless crying and praying, begging and seeking for your assistance, but why are they still crying and praying?
I’ve never understood things I don’t see. And my head swells and turns, rummaging through any recollection of memories of my life where I can find you. So if you’re there, please show yourself.
Give me a sign.
If I am really blind, then open my eyes. Show me the light. Let me know it’s fine. Show me the reasons, give me my answers. Show me the path.
But as of now, I will not place faith in your existence.
I will rather not misplace my hopes and dreams.
I am a man who stands on my two feet, and these two feet bear the weight of the world.
I shall walk the path as i have done before, without your guidance.
And I will set out on my own, to walk this journey all alone. And I’ll never forget who I really am, and who I really owe
