Dead Frank

by Aadi Pandya

I want to know who I am,
What is my purpose,
And what are my belongingnesses,
This is what I ask,
To my creator, Oh my father,
What have you created?

You gave me a consciousness,
And now ask me to be heartless,
I was the purpose for your life,
Now you have discarded me from your life,
Is this why you have created me,
My creator, Oh my father.

You made me from death,
And gave me depth,
For what, your wrath,
And now ask me to stop my breath,
Is this why you have created me,
My creator, Oh my father.

I asked for love and companionship,
But only got pain and suffering,
From the day I first started living,
You loved me, and your creating,
Now that I am not what you intented,
I am nothing but a failed rendered,
Is this why you have created me,
My creator, Oh my father.

In the end you ask for forgiveness,
And how can deny it when I am worthless,
So I forgive you my creator, Oh my father,
But you haven't answered me,
Is this why you have created me?
