I used to pray. I didn't think anyone was listening, but that wasn't why I prayed.

i used to do that kind of child praying, where you don't really understand who you're praying to or why you're doing it, but it's what people do in films so it's what you do to.
since i learnt more about it, i haven't, not properly. i'm not sure i could, knowing/believing i'm just shouting into the ether.

People do the craziest things when they're in a mess.

Hey, first comment! i'm guessing you are an aethiest? Or at least someone who doesn't really believe in a "God".
But, i digress, this is a nice poem. short, sweet, and to the point. good work!

i believe in a higher power, but not a god. not someone who cares, who loves us, or anything like that. not someone deserving of worship. i'm far to pessimistic to be sold on the 'benevolent' thing.

thank you!

but that wasn't really the point of this. it wasn't really meant to be a religious statement. like, i don't associate prayer with just talking to god. it's not strictly a religious thing, for me, more of a... worship thing. a sign of faith. doesn't have to be in god, if that makes sense.

I guess it makes sense.
