Swirling confusion
Unanswered questions
Why am I choosing this way?
Leaving my world
Everything I’ve known
When a part of me really wants to stay.
Seeing the Truth
Hurt by the lies
Why did it take me this long?
When all I wanted
Was to just stay
And sing another line of the song.
Abuse and hate
Judgement and pain
Is all that is handed down.
Why did the church
Twist every Word
To keep us pinned to the ground.
Smile! Keep sweet
Submit and obey
Keep your head down to pray.
I’m stifled, can’t breath
I just need just some space
To say what I need to say
I’m not a doormat
I’m not your toy
To dress how you wish.
Modesty! Oh Yes!
Be nicely dressed
Homemade meals in every dish.
Skirts to the floor
Don’t tempt the men
Their sin will rest on your head.
If you were touched
You should have just run
Or tried to escape from your bed.
Come little girl
We’ll keep you pure
Just say nothing of what happened then.
God does forgive
And so must we
He’ll never do it again.
Lies. All lies
They always repeat
But you church don’t wish to see.
It’s because of you
We are all through
We are now the persons we wish to be.
Growing and healing
Seeking the Truth
Finding it not in a Church.
Outdoors with trees
Indoors with books
These places don’t make us lurch.
We are safe away
Leaving it all behind
To grow our faith on our own.
Without you Church
We are thriving each day
Trust me you lost and we’ve won.
