I don't believe in angels
only in a human hunger
for attention
and safety
and someone who calls the shots
I don't believe in angels
with so much hate
how could something so beautiful
even exist?
I don't believe in angels
perhaps I'm too afraid to put my trust in something unseen
maybe I'm just bitter
maybe I'm smart
I don't believe in angels
I wish I could
it could be an escape
the happy ending
to a sad story
where the protagonist finds God
but no
that's not it
I used to believe in angels
I felt safe
thinking they were there
I never questioned anything
at least not out loud
and I had faith and faith and faith
I had faith in faith
enough for me
not now
I'll never believe in angels
because if angels were real
I wouldn't feel this way
because if angels were real
none of this would have happened
because if angels were real
they would be merciful
and take me away

People often ask me why I'm an atheist. This is one of the many reasons.
