I Was Alone

                        I was alone
                     in a world of hate

                  a world where difference

                    was a thing to hate

                  a world where everything

                     was as "God planned"

                       and what wasn't

                   was branded and banned

                                                 

                        I went along

                       like I believed

                        saving myself

                 from the ones who truely did

                        hating myself

                        for being them

                   while I was not the same

                                                 

                    the ones who crucify me

                  are the ones who really are

                       the ones who have

                            misread

                           the words

                  that are killing me right now.

               The words that are casting me away

                           God's words

                              My God

                                                 

                    These are not your words

                    These are not your words

                    these are not your words

                                                 

                         I believe in you

                                                 

                   But these are not your words

                                                 

                   It couldn't be the only one

                    who reads my every thought

                 I believe what you say is right

                         so if that means

                          I have to hate

                           my very self

                          I can't do it.
