I've Been Saved.

"I've been saved"

saved from what

your own decisions?

A life that isn't dictated

by some greedy god?

I think

that being "saved"

is taking the easy way

out.

Fuck that

I can't believe I support this

it's

a cult

to me

flashbacks to sunday mass

condemnation sans deliberation.

On principle though

your life is yours

not mine

not mine

not mine

but it's not you

to wake up on sundays for mass.

I was at your bat mitzvah

and I will read you through this

I can't lose you

to a creed of 

convert happy

demigods

who condemn everything I am.
