Bulimic Christians (All of You)

alas
you have spoken
and now
i am broken

the sad part about the feelings i have
is that you think its right for me to feel this way
and you find some sick pleasure in knowing you made me feel this
and you mark another tally on your list

(of 'converts')

you beat me and scarred me
you laughed in my face
you rejected me
you mocked me
you cast me out
you avoided me
you crucified me
you were scared of me
you tried to make yourself superior to me
you deny all of this

but sadly it is the truth

and sadly...




...its what they did to Christ

I'm not him...
but you're sure as heck them
