Believing Out Of Fear

By Pema Bhutia


I plead you not to hate me, just because i dont believe,
Believe in your existence, Believe to feel relieved.

I wanna pray to you out of love, for the hope you’ve always been;
Not out of fear or out of guilt or any needy mean.

There is so much that we ask for, and give nothing in return;
And say praying is all that we need to do,
Us humans will never learn..

The reason for your absence is because we’re so blind,
ignoring what we have, in search of something we’re not meant to find.

But i know you still love us, love us with all your might,
By giving us a new day and a peaceful slumber night...
