Lost Faith

'Tis the season.
And I've lost my faith.
People talk about "God's greater plan".  I don't buy it.
People talk about "it's in God's hands".  I'm not believing it.
People say, "Just have faith".  I can't anymore.
If God's greater plan is to let good people suffer without any hope of living life & merely existing in pain, 
then God's a real jerk. If God's plan is to let little children be abused, he's clueless.  
I WANT to have faith.  I WANT to believe God is out there looking out for us.  
But I'm really having a hard time trusting it anymore.
I WANT to have comfort in God, but all I feel is angry.
Angry that my mom, a beautiful, vibrant, kind lady has had to suffer a non-life for years now.
Angry that good people get nothing for their kindness or hard work. 
Angry that innocent children are killed at the hands of creatures worse than any wild animal.
Angry that good, loving couples are denied children yet teenagers or drug addicts or worse can get pregnant at a glance.
Angry.  At a God who allows it to happen.
And angry at the people who say it's "God's Will".  
Bullshit!
My faith is hanging on by a shoestring, God.  Can't I have some sign to restore my faith?

Who am I?

I don't write anymore, as you can see.
I don't do faire anymore.
I don't hang out with a bunch of friends anymore.
I don't look cute & sassy anymore.
I've lost ME.
I know I should be happy, I have a family who are healthy & fairly happy.
But I'm not.
I feel like I'm a stranger who takes care of them day after day.  I don't know ME anymore.
I feel fat & ugly & old.
I feel unclever & unwitty & certainly unwise.
I had spark.  Lived by it.
And it gone and I don't know how to get it back.
I just know I'm perpetually sad.
And lonely.
I wish I could help ME.
Please come back.
