INDOCTRINATION

by A.N.M. - Pisces

"Religion"...I now despise...
Cost me "peace"...no more the wise
Of years of anguish..trying to be
Something "pure" while "losing" ME!...

All the feelings..."That were BAD!"...
Cost me "joy" I could have had...
Didn't have to feel "A Sinner"---
"Heaven-bound" to be a "winner!

Growing older, feeling "ripped."...
Feeling life has been a "jip"...
I find comfort in the knowing
That there's others like me growing---

No, not for selfish relish!... 
Nor to see my "thoughts" embellished...
But to know I'm not alone...
Just to know I'm not alone..
