about

I wrote this piece with the intent of encapsulating the feeling of being forsaken. It was written in my distant past during a period in life of deep personal religiosity and grief. The Christian example described in the bible was the first thing that came to mind - "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?"
This is from Psalm 22, but I was rather thinking at the time of when Jesus quoted this verse from the cross on Golgotha, atop a windy hill with a criminal hanging either side of him, and most his disciples and followers absent. This image/story closely mirrored how I felt at the time.
