Why I don't believe in God

I am plagued by something I cannot see or hear,
But because of my beliefs, I have to endure,
Questions and disbelief-why?
They say,
I was just brought up that way
I was in a world of ease,
A world of peace
A world of smiles,
Not a world half-destroyed
By murders and pointless trials
They ask if there's something wrong with me,
Is this just so because I don't believe?

I see myself as an angel,
Quite simple, leave it at that.
I like to stand on my own two feet,
Break rules, forgive myself-just like that.
People always preach 'well, the bible says...'
I just want to know what they say
We were made, all equally individual,
But you can't break away from the shackles you were presented with,
Makes no sense, but I like to be bold.
Usually I'm told there is somehting wrong with me,
It's only because I don't believe.

I admit there were times when I felt so lonely,
I couldn't really go on,
But life and curiosity got the better of me,
I'm happy now and having fun,
Why don't I believe in God?
I've got a life to lead
I want to witness right and wrong,
Love and hate,
Sometimes destiny, sometimes fate,
And not have a possibility of criticism
And this place called 'hell'.
I hope you understand why I don't believe,
All I can say is-oh well.

*Might I stress, these feelings are all about me. However i will always respect your beliefs, please respect mine.
