I am a Mormon girl
Though I am not your typical one
I break the rules
I don't do everything right
Wow, shocker
The world is so stereotypical towards girls like me
We can't slip up
We can't do anything wrong
And if we do anything wrong
We are immediately shunned
But, I am one of those bad Mormon girls.
How am I a bad Mormon?
I'll tell you
I curse
I cheat
I lie
I don't wait until I'm old enough to date
I don't let a booklet control my life
It makes me feel restrained
Almost like a criminal
I can't bear it.
I hate it.
Some say that being a bad Mormon girl gets me a one-way ticket to Hell
I would love to differ.
Being a bad Mormon teaches me right from wrong
It helps me realize that
Not every Mormon girl has to be perfect.
Other people judge bad Mormon girls.
People judge me.
Good Mormon girls give me looks like I am less than dirt
Because of my mistakes,
Mormons don't accept me.
But guess what, I don't care.
I love living my life imperfectly.
It teaches me and others
That to be a Mormon
Does not mean that you have to be this Perfect little person.
You can be bad.
I am an imperfect and bad Mormon girl.
And I love it.
