Listening

It's never been about religion
but I should've listened to God
and realized what was being said
I remember how it felt before
the universe would speak to me 
while its energy moved through me
that's how I discovered my purpose
I thought I was just being obedient 
but maybe I wasn't appreciative enough
did I take God's words for granted 
or was it the universe's energy I upset
it seems they're both one in the same
that explains the missed opportunities
being at the right place wrong time
and the series of unfortunate events
ultimately ending in utter failure
where did it all go wrong for me
maybe I should keep listening
because the universe still speaks
its energy still flows within me
and God still has a word to share
so maybe I'll just keep listening
while proving to myself
that I'm still worth getting the message
