Sonnet 3

Hated and despised by all the world,
they turned their back and left me standing there.
I am told that I have nothing by the world;
I should give up ‘cause no one even cares.
They say you don’t exist or that you’re dead,
I’m wasting time believing in your love.
But I guess that’s something they don’t get.
That evil still exists because you love,
and wish that none should perish’s why you wait–
to give us all a chance to trust in you,
to reject the world’s lies and bait,
and receive the peace and love that comes from you.
By your love and willing sacrifice,
I now have hope to live; that should suffice.
