Convert Me
written by TAINTEDSOULisBACK04:56 AM 12/20/04I'm tired of living in this world of ignorance,
of people urging and searching,
desperate for repentance.
Everyone's got a story to tell,
but would yours be worth reading?
Or would it just be a script
full of your begging and pleading.
If you're looking for forgiveness,
don't look to convert me,
look to your God,
and fall to your knees,
pray that your sins are all washed away,
and that your children will be safe,
when they go out to play,
Pray that you don't sink into darkness,
pray that you can enjoy life,
sinless and clueless.
Pray that I don't creep to your bed,
when you're safe in your dreams,
and strangle you til not even you,
can hear all of your screams.
It's not that I hate you,
but what's your reason for living?
To just love your God,
and dismiss all your feelings?
What about lust, what about waste?
You can't even grieve,
about the pain you have faced.
You have to forgive and forget,
live and let love,
ignore all the shouts,
within the push and shove.
Frankly, I'd go crazy,
more insane than you say I am now.
But I'd be living the right life,
going down the right path,
laying down my knife,
and picking up a staff?
Screw that, and your way,
But you can keep on believing,
and keep on deceiving,
while I walk away,
and play the game,
the way I want to play. |

Author's footnotes and comments on this Poem:
To all the people out there trying to pin me with plagirism, I wrote this. I might have posted it under my old screen name on here, but as I have said before, I lost the password to that one and couldn't recover it, even after hundreds of attempts, so don't go all crazy if you've seen this once before. And if any ZenHex Employees read this, contact me at at JadedFreak96@aol.com, I would like to be able to access my other name. Thanks. And BTW, please comment!

| I love it. Very powerful, and good use of agression, and I hope you get your old name back. |
