Why is it never enough?
And so I'm calling you out on your bluff.
You always said there was something more.
And I never questioned you before.
I tried to be fulfilled.
With faith. With love. With ignorant thrills.
You say that I have to be pure.
But now I'm no longer sure.
The Truth you spread fills me with doubt.
If this is the light I can live without.
And when I finally do feel whole.
You tell me I'll surely lose my soul.
Your road isn't the only way.
And I won't sell who I am to feel ok.
And why do I feel so dead inside,
Everytime that I tried
To live the way you tell me to.
Sorry, but I can't be like you.
And how can you think that you're so perfect,
When the way you act just makes me sick?
I know the difference from wrong and right.
Your justice is long since out of sight.
I'll make my own path from here on in.
And it's not your place to to condemn my sin.
Don't you point your finger at me
If you can't even be bothered to see
All of the pain and hurt you've brought,
To every heart that couldn't be bought.
And everyone you cast aside
Because you couldn't open you mind.
I'll live my life and follow what's in my heart.
I have a future in which you play no part.
I found a place that feels like home.
And you won't be here to tell me it's wrong.
So I say good-bye to a life of regret.
Here's to another free thinker who slipped through your net.
Just to clarify, because some have taken this poem the wrong way. This poem is not an angry outcry against God. It was inspired by a certain church organization in my town that I have had many mixed experiences with, as well as many other Christian friends I have.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good. People shouldn't tell you how to live your life and tell you what to do.
