Dear God I'm Out Here Again Poem by Munashe Rupazo

Dear God!
I'm out here again!

I was in the home that you gave me to love,
I guess I was not a tenant enough for my landlord,
When I paid my rent lower than his consolidation price,
And so I'm out here again.

I'm cold and frail.
I have no warmth to embrace my fever,
No strength to encourage my vulnerable heart.
I left naked,
And now I cannot find leaves to hide myself.

Dear God!

With albums in my mind I cannot fathom,
With scars on my soul I cannot hope again,
With wounds in my heart my blood cries betrayal,
Because I'm out here again
When I thought I would never be again.

Clothe me Lord,
I break at the devil's scorn.
The sky looks on me with shame,
The birds laugh at my unclothed memories,
The earth cracks at my footsteps,
The world sees my misery and I am humiliated.
I cannot close my face or block the whispers from the winds
My happiness is isolated.
The sun no longer shines,
The moon no longer smiles.
The grass no longer grows,
The rain no longer falls,
But I'm out here,
Alone in the darkness.

I'm out here again,
Dear God!
Come and take me home.
