Psalm 6 - The "All-Knowing" Poem by Boston Kelley

My God, I cannot help but feel angry
towards You.
Boiling rage rises in my soul as
I read Your Word.
Where I should be feeling comfort,
infuriation takes its place.
You know how fueled by rage I am,
so why should I bother telling You?
You already know my heart, do you not?

We humans have an innate tendency to
romantically love.
It is what brings us together.
It produces children and unites a man
and woman in holy matrimony.
What could be greater than such love?

God, You love us, but not in the same
way.
You are our Father and we are Your
children.
You care for us as a parent cares
for his or her child,
not how romantic partners are
attracted toward each other.

How can You be all-knowing,
if You cannot feel that type of love?
How can people say You understand
and know our feelings if You cannot
feel them yourself?
Here I sit, desiring romantic love,
broken at my lack of it.
I ask to be loved, but how can I ask that
from You?
You display a parental love, not romantic
love.
You have created us to innately love
that way and it has caused me pain.

Lord, I hear Your voice, urging me to
pray, but I am so angry,
that I can't get a word in.
Instead, I desire to do other things,
not wanting to be near You.
The way You love is not the love I want,
why can't someone love me romantically?

My God, what should I do?
My anger toward You is so great
and my frustration continues to grow.
If I cannot hope to find empathy in You,
who else can I turn to?
