Boy Out Of Time Poem by Paul Anthony Scott

Dear, dear God, please let me die tonight,
this isn’t my world,
I don’t belong here.
I’m a boy born out of time.

Dear, dear God, please understand my cry,
because, nobody loves me,
no-one sees me.
I’m a boy born out of time

Dear, dear God, please let me die in my sleep,
and this pointless life can end,
and I can smile beneath my sheets

Dear, dear God, is it really a crime
for any atheist to want things from you?
Please take me back to my time.
