It's a sad, sad life.
  
Going through days without worry,
                                       without fear,  
                                            of being judged by someone in the sky you've never met.

It's heartbreaking and pathetic.

Following morals that feel right,
                                       felt in your heart,
                                           instead going by ancient word in a "holy" book.

I am stupid, I am ignorant.

I believe differently than you, and I shall be outcast,
                                                      condemened to eternal hell,
                                                         because you disagree with me.

Is this what your "God" really wants?

Victims fall,
              They scream.
Innocent.
          Bodies burn,
            Homes are destroyed.
Innocent.
           Mothers hide their babies,
             children run for cover.
Innocent.
           But where was I?
             I wasn't there.
Guilty?
           I didn't cry for them,
             I wasn't able to.
Guilty?

The warmth of a feathered wing
Is felt upon the roughest branch..
         I've forgotten about life around me.
A sleeping northern wind
Is released for restless eyes..
         I only want to feel something more.
A troubled thought
Follows a cotton mouth..
         I've been waiting here for you.

These words...
Will never change in my mind.
    Are not afraid of being judged.
      Do not hear harshness from others.
         These words are here just to be mine.
