My Words

Religion is just a mask of an infinite disguise. But they use it as a foundation that I continue to despise. They walk through life with their heads in the air. With their shirts buttoned up and their pinned up hair. Life is a show and they're on center stage. I'm stuck in the audience in a locked up cage. They have Jesus on their necks and money in their pockets. They get whatever they want and they sure as hell flaunt it. Everything is easy when you have the right connections. And every day's a party in your big fancy mansions. Why work hard when your future is paid for? Your parents must be proud that you know the worth of green paper. You say you're just like us but I know that you're all freaks. The least you could do is practice what you preach.

These shackles are beginning to pull too tight. My lungs are losing air and my eyes are losing sight. Thoughts cloud my mind as water fills my mouth. I thought that I could do anything, but I'm slowly going down. The weight of the burden brings me down further. You'd think in a place without gravity it'd be a bit harder. I guess it makes sense with bricks tied to my knees. Just let me sink, I have no one left to please.

I see your face in the water; your image next to me. Something about our love brings me back to the sea. I'm reminded to remember what I'll never regret. The life changing events that you're soon to forget. Please don't feel the need to keep me alive. Your heart holds both, they're now beating in time. But, I know it means nothing, my fragile way. It was inevitable we couldn't make each other stay. So although it may feel good to be once again free...remember when you're lonely who you fell in love with by the sea.

Your heart pitch as black gambles with mine that of gold, but my cards are bad I'm getting ready to fold. I'm not saying I'm perfect for I too share the blame. The fault lies with me in falling for your game. The lies pile up like money on the table..you know all my tricks. It's hard keeping stable. You cleaned me out dry and reached the end of the road. Time to find a new girl. You played me. I'm broke.

I had my religion final today and wrote this for one of my essays! We had to write something creative about your faith. It's a little shaky, but I only had 20 minutes to write it. Hope you enjoy! I am sent from God in the heavens above. My father has sent me to be the holy one. I am strong with faith and forgiving to all. Anyone can be catholic, just read the conversion of Paul. My teachings can be found in all four gospels. Wait until you read the signs and see the stunts that i pull. I ate with tax collectors and even walked on water. I forgave the girl who committed adultery: she too is God's daughter. I'm here to spread the good news and give religion  start. Faith isn't found in a science book, but in your heart. You should go to church on the holy sabbath day, although I am always listening to you pray. Live by the commandments, it isn't hard to do. Just do unto others as you want them to do unto you. I know it's hard to believe without really seeing, ...

Your burdens can be an anchor, always weighing you down. Just like a sinking ship in danger, slowly finding the ocean ground. But when you jump into the sea, you bob back to the surface because although we have flaws, in someone else's eyes you're perfect. You know the fear of going under, so you stay afloat. You try to shake those burdens that continue to sink your boat. They come flooding to your mind and you start to think, "I know how to swim...I refuse to sink."

Represent the wings that could carry you to freedom. Reason with the gods, for they're your only leader. Understand the words that could eventually save your soul. Stand by what your heart says and achieve every goal. Brush away the poison that can get inside your head. Live by the words of wise ones and be happy instead. Simply read the warning signs and anticipate the worst because when you find your happiness, make sure that you're the source.
