talking to God.

[gracefulmistake]

i stopped talking to God a while ago, because,
no matter how hard i listened,
i could never hear an answer. He never talked back.
the signs never came.
and so i questioned what i was raised to believe in
and realized to believe in heavens
you must believe in hell,
and to see God, you must think there is
a Satan somewhere lurking.
and i don't.
i don't believe in those evil things - just people.
and people make themselves evil.
i asked my mom, since she believes in God and Jesus
and has faith that He died on the cross,
and she said i'm not supposed to hear him talk back;
that's not the way it works. He sends small signs
and little things.
and so i asked her if she would tell Him
the next time i had some words to say,
because maybe He'd talk to her,
and she could relay the message.
