Single Thought

Celebrate a "holiday” that explains away my existence

He died, was buried and the third day he rose again

but who is this he that looks nothing like me

but in his image I was created?

and if I say I am not for thee

the way that you say I am

then I now become the enemy

that's all you see

this external worshipping without understanding

the turmoil within

to conform because that was how I was raised

brain-washed

to only adhere to ONE way of thinking

believing

but who really believes in me

when never was I asked my take on all this
