Black and White

by Ashley   Apr 10, 2007


I've been Lost now
Not knowing when or how
How to be myself in front of you all
Or when to stand up strong and tall

I've found a cool dark place
In the corner of my mind to where I can escape
Escape from the Blindness of those who see
The ones who claim to know the path, the path for me to be free

Throwing your books of wisdom for this soul to read
Telling me that I'm in the wrong to believe your creed
Looking at the founding's I seek to see the seer
A journey of torment to the unbeliever

Questioning the path of which you lay for me
Giving me the tools of my redemption for me to see
Lost beyond a prayers hope
I am the sinner the one who chose to elope

Damned me if you must
I do believe and therefore I do trust
I trust my judgment day, but not from you
You of whom "see" and yet away you slew

Sit upon your easy chair of belief and rock and sway
Fall back onto that and safe you will stay
Then when the judgment day does come unto you
You will defend yourself and say, I just believed in you

Give yourselves no question or doubt
That you are living the life of God full and stout
A Godly life you may lead
But please do not force me to believe in your creed
