Description Go on, shake your head at me.
tsk, tsk. Turn up your nose.
Wag your finger in my face.
Cluck like a fucking mother hen.

That's right.
You fucking martyr,
What a tragedy,
Putting up with me because your faith tells you to.
Congrats. You can be a decent human being
If it means you'll be gloriously rewarded in the end.
How selfless of you.

You love me, of course.
We're all God's children.
I'm just one who's lost.
Love me in this life,
accept me- for now.
I'm damned in the end anyway
You won't have to worry about me
spoiling your pearly white heaven;
so "broken" so "sinful" -- "unclean"
Don't you think your being a tad bit judgmental?

But, let's be reasonable.
You have every right.
You're chosen.
You're blessed.
Yet, not everyone can be inspired by the same spirit;
not everyone has been touched by your all mighty God.
We can't all be so sure.
Though wouldn't it be nice?

Then we could all
sleep soundly at night
while the rest of the world drowns
in the truth,
in the sorrow,
in the shit of this life-- of this world.

You want to be there for me, do you?
You want to guide me--lead me straight
from my crooked ways.
Then you'll have made something of yourself.
Then you'll have done something for your faith--
fed your hungry god.
You're saved.

No more of this world,
of these people
the diseased
the distorted
the torn, broken, and shattered
You can watch us all crumble
and fall like specks of dirt
from your throne in the sky.

That's right.
Don't get too close.
We'd hate to get mud on your silky white dress.
So imperfect I am, so impure
Wouldn't want to corrupt your crystal clean mind
destroy your pretty world
Where all is love
There is no death
One love for life
One god for salvation
one reason for living
one death for rebirth.

I'm glad you've got it all figured out.

I didn't read the description until I read the poem, so I guess it's too late for me!

Holy cow, Courtney. This is so freaking powerful it actually brought me to tears. I think it is the strongest thing you've ever written, and I just cannot believe the impact it had on me when I read it. Perhaps it's because I have felt the same way before, I dunno...but good job with the poem. I hope that things get sorted out, though.
