What is religion?
The worship of a God who claims to be all merciful
Who promises paradise to the faithful
Honey, you don't need religion
You just need something to believe in
You need a hand to lift you when time gets tough
You need something to save you when you've had enough
Why do you need a reason to be good?
You live based on what a man wrote in a book
Believe me, I did the same thing
But the difference between you and me
Is that I am truly free
No longer held by a bond that says I cannot be myself
My goal is to achieve peace without His help
My books were written by men who lived stressful lives
But instead of forcing prayer and creating lies
They taught hope and peace that you can find from inside
Because one day when your God decides he no longer wants to answer
One day when your God decides it's the end for your existence
One day when his mercy runs out and your people are no longer standing
I will.
You say your God has everlasting love?
But he created you knowing whether or not you would get to heaven or hell
You are a pawn in his game,
I was too, but I became queen
I've won this game, no need for kings.
I don't mean to bash a religion that I once loved
I just wish you could see how far I've come
I'm so close to finding my inner peace
So much closer to finding me
I'll see you in Nirvana
