Alone



Ravenous serpents surround Me
with venomous shouts and mockery
waiting to sink their teeth
in their property
divide My spoils like lottery
even my best friend denied Me
my own people decried Me
I know it's God's sovereignty
but honestly
it feels like He abandoned Me,
everyone I love's absentee,
I needed them most
and they left me in the debris.
