Living a Lie

poem by: Emily P
Written on Mar 08, 2015

Brought up in a community who denies they are a cult. I feel like I've been locked up, release me from their ways. Like a jail our thoughts are locked up, not aloud to think for ourselves. 

Save me God from their ways, as I feel I've been brought up in a lie.

They deny it, but yet it is so clear. How can they not see it? That they are wrong, that this life they live in is not right? Show them the way, make their vision clear that they are not living life.

Save me God from their ways, as I feel I've been brought up in a lie. 

I do not belong here, release me from their ways. 

Brainwashed from a child. I did not know the truth. He ripped the darkness from my eyes, he showed me I am better then this, that I deserve to live my dreams. For this i owe him my all.

Save me God from their ways, as I feel I've been brought up in a lie. 

Led to believe I would be cursed if I left this cult, that you O God would not save me nor love me. I was scared into believing that this was true.

Save me God from their ways, as I feel I've been brought up in a lie. 

Am I wrong in being angry? Am i wrong in going against what they believe? If I am, send me to hell because I want to have no part in this abomination. For this is how I truly feel.

Save me God from their ways, as I feel I've been brought up in a lie. 

Im scared, so very scared that I will lose everything I know. But I am strong enough to live my life as I should. To live my dreams, to be free from this box with no windows or doors.

God I know you will save me for I am not wrong!

Often times god will isolate us when he's doing a work in us. I was separated from friends, family. I think its called being in the wilderness. A strenuous test of faith. Keep your eyes on the lord and forget those that get in the way of your walk with him. When we choose god the world mocks us. But take heart because greater is he that is in you than he who is in the world. Keep writing!
