Title: The Way He Feels
They just don’t get it, do they? I turned and slammed my fists against the wall, creating the low rumble you hear right before a heavy storm.
No, they don’t get it. Slamming my fists against the wall once again, my thoughts turned to the world and the people I put on it.
I immediately thought of Greg. It’s so sad that he keeps so much pain hidden. The only person who knows of it is me. He tries to forget his pain, and most of the time he doesn’t succeed. The cocaine he buys from the man on the street corner only lets him forget during the night, but the morning after he always remembers.
Then my mind drifted to thoughts of Rebecca, poor fifteen-year-old Rebecca. Her boyfriend had gotten her pregnant this past summer. She dreaded telling him and had put it off until her belly had grown noticeable. When her boyfriend had started questioning her about her growing belly, she finally told him that he was going to be a father. When he heard the news, he left immediately. Now Rebecca is trying to handle the pregnancy all alone.
Anger filled my heart once again. I kicked my foot against the wall and the sky shook and lightning shot across the sky. Those mortal people just don’t understand. I just want them to come to me.
Once again I thought of the people I loved so much. Trevor had begun stealing cars with a bunch of his friends. He claimed to be doing it for fun, but I knew the real reason. He wanted to forget the death of his parents. They always fought and one night when Trevor was only eight-years-old, his father went into a rage. Picking up a pistol, he shot Trevor’s mother and killed her. Then he killed himself. Trevor saw the entire thing from behind the sofa.
Then, Tina came to my mind and I had to swallow a lump in my throat. She had started cutting her wrists because she felt as if no one loved her. Her parents were never home and she was an only child who had no friends at school and was labeled an outcast.
Finally, I couldn’t contain my anger. I threw my entire weight into the wall and the thunder roared and lightning flashed. I did this a few more times, using all the energy contained inside my powerful body. After all my energy was gone, I began sliding down the wall and I put my head into my hands and cried. The angels joined, and with the sorrow, our tears cascaded down to the earth and drenched everything. We sobbed for hours.
When the tears finally ceased, my thoughts once again turned to the people of the world. They just don’t understand. They don’t realize that all they have to do is come to me and they will be forgiven. They don’t know that I sent my one and only son to die on a cross and that if they put their faith in me, I will save them. I love them that much, and they don’t know.
Although, I was the one who made them that way. I was the one who gave them freewill, and I’m not the type that barges in when I’m not wanted. I will come into their hearts when they ask. It’s so hard though. They’re running from me and all I want is to be with them.
