Why Me, God?

 know You choose the paths we tread,

But why must mine be laced with dread?

What crime did I commit to earn

A life where innocence must burn?

I didn’t ask to wear this name

“Survivor” wrapped around my shame.

They say, “You’re strong,” like it’s a prize,

But strength was born from compromise.

It wasn’t courage, it was need

Survive, or let the dark succeed.

There was no choice, no noble fight,

Just scraping through another night.

God, why me? What did I miss?

I thought Your love would shield from this.

A Father meant to guard, defend

Why let the devil in again?

They say, “It gets better, just wait.”

But I am drowning under fate.

Each breath I take, I taste the past

The echo of a pain that lasts.

I used to bow my head and pray,

But now my faith has slipped away.

You taught me trust, then let it break,

Left me with wounds too deep to fake.

Is this a game? A test? A trial?

A reason buried in denial?

They say, “Your strongest card’s unplayed,”

But what if all my strength has frayed?

Do You delight in what You see

This shattered version left of me?

If there’s a purpose in this pain,

Then let it not have been in vain.
