Faith Remains

 Poem about religious abuse 

Faith 
 
Tryin to use your faith 
To give YOU space 
What about when I wanted it
Trying to smother me 
Instead of loving me 
never was what you said it was 
Especially when it was often revoked 
With every action you took 
Every hurtful word you spoke 
When your hands wrapped my hands around trying to choke 
Where’s your faith 
When you threaten me 
Where’s your faith 
When you grab me and restrain me? 
Silence me 
Use violence on me 
Gone up in smoke 
I’m done though 
No more hope though 
 Because your faith 
Disappeared in an instant

Not consistant 
But with me your insistent 
I’m chasing my own faith 
Don’t need you no more to stay 
Because I want to do it my way 
Got to go for you I will pray
