This is a short poem about a life of child who grew to lose his faith in god.... Enjoy
I grew up to believe that God is always the answer.
My father was a head priest
He would pray everyday
But God never answered
Were is he?
Is he above us?
Is he laughing at us struggle?
Is he going to help us?
As the days drew on i looked at the sky
Hoping that God will answer my call
Every night i sit and pray
For one day he will help us
That night there was a knock
That night there was blood
That night my father died
That night my mother died
That night my sister died
That night i lost my eyes
From there i lost hope
From there i lost my Life
Who did i pray to for all these years?
Why would God take my Family?
Why would he test my faith like that?
Years passed as a grew
I stopped caring
I never listened to anyone anymore
I grew to be myself
I tested my own life
So as days turned into weeks
and weeks turn into months
I never thought i could be happy
I never want a life a false hopes and dreams
I want my life to be complete
Today, all i have is more answers than prayers
All i have is my Life
Not a life lead by a god
No, a Life lead by me
People Still tell me god is the solution
But i All i can tell them is god blinded me from my life, and my eyes are the proof
So when the earth becomes straight, On the day of the Equinox
On the day i Lost my life
On the day i lost my hope
All i can say is.......
There is no god in my life.
This is a short poem, It was Inspired by my wRHG, I thank all who read this, Its Great that i can Express a poem to you all.

Pretty straight forward and simple. There's not much to it, but at least it had a nice depressing story. I have to ask, was the loss of captial on the word 'God' intentional?

when referring to "a god", it's gramatically correct to leave it un-capitalised, as it's not a specific noun (such as, for instance, saying I have "a cat"). It's also correct when he says "no god", because, again, it's unspecific and plural. Only when referring to "THE" God should it be capitalised. However, I did note that he wrote: "People Still tell me god is the solution", which should be capitalised. So, either you're correct and it's intentional to signify his loss of belief/faith, or it's a mistake.
I liked the poem, but there are a couple of mistakes, I feel:
"Years passed as a grew" - should be "I grew"
"I never want a life a false hopes and dreams" - should be "of false hopes and dreams"
"Today, all i have is more answers than prayers" - should be "all I have are" (I believe, considering it's plural)
"But i All i can tell them" - should be "But all I can tell them"
Not flaws with the poem itself, merely some things that a proof-read could have fixed.

I still believe in God. I might end up like you which I hope won't happen.
Automaton, it's capitalized for Christian Catholics since God is our god. I think it's His name.
We also capitalize the pronouns used, I think it's for respect, same goes with Jesus.
I hope atheists here would respect each others religions and not help others be converted into atheists as well.

Jesus man, that was deep.
I can't say I agree with the message, but sheesh man. Thats depressing.
Can I ask, how exactly did you lose your family?
And also if I can add, I know this is all very depressing, but I can't help seeing this of some cliche story of a low faithed boy who experienced a tragedy and then lost faith in everything because of it.
Don't get the wrong idea, you have my sympathy, but maybe you should think about throwing your beliefs away.
Just a thought.

@ Mikematic I believe that it's not a real thing that happened. Like he said, it's inspired by his WRHG

also, sweet poem man~ love the story and the flow, not much of a poem writer myself and I honestly can't find anything for you to improve on, besides capatilazing "I" since that drives me insane, but besides that everything's pretty good~
Keep it up! :3

@Hewitt Aren't most of those question are irrelevant to the story, or at least are not essential?

I think it's more of a context thing you have to interpret yourself, but it is pretty vague in the manner in which it's composed.
You still got a ways to go, santiago.
