A voice levy—to impose a fee on speaking freely. My breath is so heavy, as my bones take on another burden. Searching in the confines of a world not letting me be. A Christian that has been castrated; as you'd assume I never had the testies to speak my father's truths. The world has test me plenty times as a youth, before my ***** even dropped. This part may penetrate some sensitive hearts, so let me stop. Perhaps you'd call me _being too religious._ My religion isn't based on a bound by monastic vows. Tis of relationship I have with my God. Filled with His holy spirit, after being saved by His son's loving grace. But alas you'd still call me _being too religious_ either way. But that's okay—I'll turn the other cheek. Do it as many times as like in rinse and repeat. I can follow those lessons of the Bible, but please don't hit me with, "well aren't you a Christian," when I'm at my lowest. I'm a Christian, but human too. I'm also going through it too. Do I still seem _being too religious_ to you? Perhaps I'm _being too religious_ to speak any real truth. You'd call me selfish, if I said I don't speak truth for me or you. I speak truth for my creator, but saying that would create tension. When I speak of repentance to a sinner, a part of me expects aggression. But I see that you're empty, and hope to lead you into being filled by the Lord. But I'd seem to full of myself, and a fool to try and save a sinner. At fault for being a Christian, as you'd love to say, _being too religious._ I guess I'll always be too religious.
