I'm going back to my roots
Leaving the cult
Lowering my expectations
Can't fly to the moon
I'm going to settle down in fear
Listen to my doctor
"Life is cyclical. Religion has helped me with my high expectations."
"I just don't believe in the same things."
"Whatever works for you."
"God wants to have a relationship with you. He was you to rest your fears only on him. He promises that, in your struggle, if you pray, he'll guide you anew. Do you accept Jesus Christ to be your personal Lord and Savior?"
"I wish I didn't have to second guess myself often. I wish I didn't have to look outside myself for confirmation."
"Love is not supposed to be so painful, it's supposed to be reciprocated. That's how ALL relationships work!"
"I don't want a relationship that's not a challenge."
Oh what it would be - not to fear
I think it to myself, as I sit in front of the beach with a drink in hand
The blue has taken over the night
The moon glistens over the sea
Flapping my angel wings
Wanting to fly away
