PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought for so long

I thought for so long that you did not exist.

I thought that you were someone that the adults made up.

I thought what I heard was lies to make us behave.

Now I know that you do exist and that you are real.

Jesus I know that you are real and I believe in you now.

I thought for so long that you were something

the adults’ uses get the children to behave.

Now I am adult and I see everything in a different light.

I thought that you were made up

and I did not listen for so long.

Now I wish that I did

then I would understand what happen earlier.
