But I Don't Anymore

Just a poem, don't let it bother you.

 

 

But I Don't Anymore

 

I used to think

There was a heaven and a hell,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

A fairy would take my tooth

And leave a dollar,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

That once someone

Woke up from the dead,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

The the earth was 6,000 years old,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

That there was a god

Who forgave sins,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

That god heard my prayers,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

That good people were rewarded

in heaven,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

God protected us from harm,

But I don't anymore.

I used to think

That there was a soul,

But I don't anymore.

 

Now, I am open and quiet inside,

There are no questions,

No searching for answers.

Call it contentment,

Call it fulfillment,

Call it a release from suffering,

Or call it nothing at all.

It shines forever,

It is forever,

I am it forever.
