Can't Stand it Anymore

These are only my thoughts. You may agree or disagree. No personal offense to anyone
----------------------------------------

Tears of hatred sprung from my eyes
Tears of sorrow burn my aching heart
This world's ignorance seems to never die
It kills itself from inside out

Religion once was my joy and my light
But then I saw the lie in that perception
Abusing religion for sex just ain't right
Untolerating others because their religions ain't fine
Some go to church for forgiveness
But do their evil deeds once again
This endless cycle is of madness
Never learning from their past mistakes

Where has the strong will gone
For young girls are subdued in school
Their only thoughts are to belong
Not of the consequences in their actions
Emotionally attached to their boyfriend
Losing their virginity for their pleasure
Then everything collapses in the end
And scars are printed unto their skin

At one time my path was leading towards this
A sheltered girl who slowly followed trends
But when the door opened, it's hard to miss
When the truth is waiting on my doorstep
And visited me every night in my dreams

I told myself before I arrived at this time
What was my definite NO or Yes
My trust, my heart, my beliefs were all mine
So I'd never be to too dependent on someone else
As I always said to myself every day
Don't cry for someone who won't cry for you
Stop being so weak and find your own way
When the time comes to let down your guard
You'll know, you will know you won't be hurt
Just remember who you truly are
Don't fall victim to the world's ignorance

*Find your own way, your own path. Set your goals and work towards them. Don't follow trends or fads or listen to what others say about you. Tell yourself what you want out of life and set your morals straight and strong before the day the world tests how much they can bend us!
