Dear God Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

One day
I woke up convinced
You are a lie
That you are a story
Told so often
People started
Believing it to be true
I left you
Trying to reclaim my life
I left you
Thinking I'd start living
But by leaving
My soul soon fainted within me
I was drowning within myself
I was dying
And you were the only on who could save me

Dear God
I did forsake you
Then realizing you were living waters
I came back to you
You gave me water to drink
Again I started living
I will attest father
I'm only alive in you
