Torn Faith

Taught to obey Forced to follow The perfection of self Mistakes are unexceptable Preached daily into our minds Broken rules Of those hidden desires Or those curious urges Ment to feel dirty Yet still they felt good somehow Lessons of virtue Gave you innocence Purity of the soul Never to be tarnished For goodness is the only option Corruptive ways Tempted to bend our wills Wanting to taste the sin To be bed for awhile Lesons of virtue Will be your faith Deaf to unbelievers Blind to images of proof Deprieved of wickedness entirly Taught to obey Never to question The growing nudges Or hidden wants These things must be ignored Trusted to follow And always remember What's right and what's wrong Making each desision One that gets approval Torn between What you've been told And what is unknown Stay where you belong Never stray beyond This I must repeat In my mind, In my thoughts Even with endless promises On the other end, I know It's only an bitter end After it's all done

There is the promise of long life if one obeys. Let go and give God His way. The end will be a happy one. Trust and obey for there's no other way.
