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
