A Sinless Sinner

When you’re a child, you think you’re untouchable,

You think that you’ll never have to endure suffering and pain,

Oh how I was gullible,

Assuming my age would make God abstain.

Why did God do this to me?

Why, at only twelve, was I on the brink of death?

In a hospital bed, scared and helpless, I was given a new reality,

I would be a type one diabetic until my dying breath.

If I had waited any more days, I would be dead,

In my wildest imagination, I never imagined my life going down this path,

But as I sat there, crying in that white linen bed,

I could only wonder what I did to deserve God’s wrath.

I was taught that God protected the innocent,

But for all my faith and devotion,

All I got was abandonment.
