I do feel I believe
Me was told about believe
that the bible has written down
about love in the ancient past
Then in school they taught me
of believers fighting for peace
killing in the name of God
Abusing his name for own gain
and how they got away
with this sanctimoniously behaving
What I learned of believe
that it's like beauty
in the heart of the beholder
No one can see how I believe
and often they just fill it in
out of own perspective
Nobody asks me how I feel this
but when I say I visit church
I see and hear the judgement
In their attitude and voice
their look avoiding my eyes
feeling the distance between us
Even if I had some good talks
but when they hear the word church
everything seems different
I did not change in anything
only was sincere about
something that matters to me
