I Stop I drop I roll
And still I want to know
Why can't I see your face
Why can't I feel your grace
I want to believe in you
and yet I cannot do
the things you ask of me
I do not think I see
I feel so lonely now
I cannot see the sun
This ever-lasting
bleakness that overrides the moon
It seeps into my skin
It reflects to me my sin
I want to see your face
I want to see your grace
I'm lost and cannot see
these chains are binding me
I wait to be set free
and yet I will not be
I wish to know you're there
but I can't be unfair
I've always had my doubts
but now it seems all-out
I don't see anything
that shows that you are there
amazing grace no more
dismissed as ancient lore
Why can't I see your face
why can't I feel your grace?

I Can Feel the Chains...
I hope that today's appointment filled you with hope...
The chains were a reference
The chains were a reference to Amazing Grace, FYI. :P
This has nothing to do with that.

Storyline
This poem is written from the perspective of someone who has lost his faith in religion after an event showed him how impossible faith is.
This story parallels my own loss of faith.
