AGONY

To perish like thirsty larks

on mirage

Or like the quail

crossed the sea

in the first thickets

because it has lost

the will to fly

But not to live on lament

like a blinded finch.

I am here, facing the altar, praying I will do good on my Math test, scheduled for this morning.

I am praying, but I feel doubtful and hesitant, unsure on whether I actually do believe in a God that from up there, decides to lower Its gaze to me, just for a moment, despite everything else happening around the world right now. I think I am praying with the vain hope that I will grab Its attention to me and my Math test. It sounds selfish, I know, wanting to grab God’s attention for such a silly thing, but I can’t help it. To pass this exam I will really need help from some other entity. On top of that, I am praying but I have started to doubt my faith. Praying has always given me comfort, even though I cannot do it unless I am in a church. I don’t know why. It could be because of my upbringing, made of sure things, safety, comforts and habits (one of them regularly visiting the church) or maybe it is just because I have never actually personally questioned the issues of transcendence and life after death. Until recently.

Lately, I have felt less sure of many things, I have started to question many ideals, principles and habits I used to be so certain of before. Anyways, what I need to focus on right now is the present.
