release me

by FireFly - Libra

Bent into shape-
Pretzel like feeling-

Holiness held some meaning-
Shaped into a cross; hand wielding-
Defiance was the thinking-
Then karma crippled me-
Oh lord, where out thou-

Tired on the plane, in the taxi, on the train-
I saw the missionaries with hope dangling-
Around their necks-
If good news was to be spread-
They made sure-
It came with the bad-
And today…it didn’t really matter-

My head above water-
But with the rest underneath-
Used all my strength-
To keep it all together-
But today…I didn’t care-

I released me-
I released me-
