  Abandoned

  Hello everyone. I worked this morning and on my break I felt inspired. Let me know what you think.

  The Real Life

  Terrified of friendship's bite,
  Qualified but full of fright,
  The evil tower taught me well,
  Took away my fear of Hell,
  Replaced it with an ugly god,
  One who rules with an iron rod,
  Beats his children; hates his wife,
  Runs a universe of strife.
  
  Then one day the madness lifted.
  With a new hope I was gifted.
  The truth really did set me free.
  Free to be the complete me.
  Instead of judgment in my eye,
  Now I'm just a normal guy.
  I see the beauty in the earth.
  And know we've all intrinsic worth.

  Alas young Abandoned, we knew him well. you have a gift fine sir, thank you for sharing your talents.

  All I thought of was, good thing you got out of the org, otherwise you truly would of been a victim of that Dead Poets Society aka WBTS.

  Sounds like your better today

  Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I feel so loved here and for the first time in at least 20 years, I don't feel like destruction is ust around the corner for me. It's a wonderful feeling regardless of what temporary issues I have.

  I don't know why I didn't see it earlier. No matter how hard I worked or how much effort I put forth in the jw, I never felt like I was worthy. I was constantly waiting for the other shoe to fall. I really feel sorry for those that aren't lucky enough to find a way off of that demoralizing treadmill.

  I think this poem came to me so easily because it represents so much raw emotion.

  All I Know Is Blame

  Looking for anything,
  Finding something worse.
  Giving over every time -
  Stuck in a bible verse.

  Calling for Socorro,
  To god I raise my voice.
  My pleas have gone unanswered.
  That too is a choice.

  My years spent with the bible,
  I wish I could reclaim
  All those moments wasted;
  For all I know is blame.
