Burn me at the town square for my beliefs.
Stake my heart and leave me to die because I don’t think like you.
Go ahead, tell me I’m wrong.
Whip me with your words until my flesh begins to bleed.
Persecute me, it just makes me stronger.

How do you speak of happiness, where we can only achieve salvation through forced to faith.
You tell me your way is the only way.
I call that dictatorship.

I can see the world in color.
You see it in black and white.
So, take my eyes that see what you don’t, and throw them in the fire.

While you preach of good works, you slit my thought with your holy book,
And scream,
“Your going to Hell!!”

I’ve endured the tears, the puddles of blood, the crushed bones, and anything else you’ve done.
You tell me it’s all for the good word.

As you say your path is the only way.
I say mine isn’t.
There are many ways for one to reach paradise, this just has to be.
Even though you beat me with your words until I go your way,
I’ll have you know I never give into you,
I’ll never force my ways down your thought either.

Just leave me alone.
Something I came up with.
You know, I've been having major religious problems.

I have them too, and I've had them for a long time. You have summed up my rebellious thoughts here perfectly - I've abandoned their idea of paradise and am creating my own right here and now, even if it would damn me to hell in the afterlife.


My only problem is that I can't bend to their beliefs but i still need something to believe in. Myself just isn't enough.
I sincirely hope you'll find your own way and never bow down infront of those you don't want to.
