Are you there God, am I alone?

The sky is deep, the sky is dark
The light of the stars is so damn stark
When I look up, I fill with fear
If all we have is what lies here
This lonely world, this troubled place
The cold dead stars, the empty space
Well, I see no reason to persevere
No reason to fight or shed a tear
No reason to sleep or ever to wake
No promise to keep or ever to make
And so at night, I still raise my eyes
To the cold but mysterious skies
That shine above us as cold as stone
Are you there God, am I alone?

I got this poem from an email forward many years ago (maybe when I was in Year 9?) It was pretty sad how at that point in my fragile life, I made it a motto of it and I eventually began to believe every word it said. Loneliness does get to you sometimes doesn't it?
I don't really know why I'm putting this up for the world to see. I just woke up this morning thinking about it and I guess, its different looking at each word as it is written, instead of repeating thing whole poem in your head. I hope this isn't what I believe in anymore.. I'm pretty sure it isn't because I know I've got a Dad who'll take me by the hand and lead me into the future that he intends for me. I don't have to be alone anymore. I'll eventually be with him for the rest of eternity when life on earth ends :) I guess its a comforting thought about death when you look at it from a different point of view. Any objections?
