Why? (Questions To God) Poem by Adam Smitherman

Dear God,

Why don't you help me in my time of need?
Why don't you give me the strength so I can proceed?
Why don't you seem to listen to me when I pray?
Why do you always let disasters happen everyday?
Why does life sometimes have to be cut so short?
Why do I always land myself in court?
Why does everything have to be so difficult?
Why can't things just be more simple?
Why does all this pain always make me want to cry?
Why can't you give me the strength to slit my throat and die?
