I wrote this poem in high school and while it does not reflect my current views I think it does express how a person feels when questioning their beliefs.
Confused Beliefs
The world's many voices,
Crying out conflicting views
--Few are right, many wrong.
Where is the truth?
The light I seek is hidden
Among multiple beliefs:
Only one is right.
What holds the truth?
Finding God in prayer
--Seemingly an empty palace
Away from mortal view.
Is there truth?
Righteous people
--Those who sin
A difference of opinions.
Which is the truth?
Looking for God
In all the wrong places.
Forget the soul
Does my heart hold the truth?
Ever persecuted
--Believing differently.
With critical thought.
Do I have the truth?
Others conform;
I question.
Creating greater confusion.
Who knows the truth?
