She followed the path of smoke rising from her lips

All the while carving the word fat on her hips

And wondered what was left in her life

She went to church for a day

To try and pray her sins away

But not even God can fix someone as broken as her

Tears falling from long lashes

Wrists filled with long gashes

"Help me God, I'm begging"

A lesson she found out too late

When she was turned away from heaven's gate

God doesn't cater to your circumstances

She wasted her precious life

Finally gained her courage from the knife

Not realizing what fiery depths her actions would take her to

Your distrust in God

When you sat in church only to not pay attention and nod

Is not welcomed in this place of complete worship

She was turned away from the clouds

Kicked deep into the sinful crowds

To spend an eternity in Hell with the others who've done wrong

But God I lost faith

I was stuck in my wraith

Have you forgotten all the good that I've done?

The good can't compare

To the unfixable tear

In the belief between worshipper and God

Does this seem cruel?

Does this sound like God's forgiving rule?

No- so why do so many humans believe it

"You will be condemned to Hell now"

"You've broken an unbreakable vow"

Yet it escapes from the lips of the same people that drove you to it

When you wake up in heaven next to God's forgiving arm

Protected from all of the unearthly earth harm

Laugh in their face and see where they're sent

Most likely they'll be the ones begging to repent
