I enjoyed this, as an ex-christian ALL my youth groups were like this, but maybe because I asked too many awkward questions that they couldn't answer. I was always leaning towards agnosticism growing up. Well this was a great poem. Capitilzed on how I felt as a child/teen, and how I found my true path to God (not christianity but wicca). All the best. :D

Ah. I can totally relate. It seems that you, despite your youth group, maaged to salvage your Christianity. I didn't. I'm currently Hindu. (see my poem Rechristening). Great job. You found a way to express your sentiment and rhyme at the same time. (Not always the easiest thing to do.)

once again i kno how exactly how u feel very awesome poem though some may not like it because of the truth it holds but personally i love it!

:D I really liked this one too. Yeah, I've noticed sth like this, too. I hate it... Do you really believe in God? Your work is diverse... reminds me of my stuff, too. It's so diverse... Ttyl

Best one I read in a while. Lovely, empty, brutally dark, then suddenly light. Your ways are well.

Praise God! Way too many people try to do God's or teh Holy Spirits work, screw them and as long as the Lord is in your heart and you are true to him, nothing even hippocrisy cant get to you!Pops

this was really good. i can relate to this. a lot of kids in youth groups are like this, including some in my old youth group so i def. know what youre talking about!

I've decided I officially like you now, cuz you're one of those rare Christians who gets it. You're not hypocritical, you don't try to convert people (being an atheist, I'm particularly appreciative of this), and you really truly believe, which is so rare.My one problem with this poem is that there are places where the rhythm is inconsistent; I know it can be hard, but there are places in here where you can fix it. lovies, pointythings

Sounds a lot like my former youth group -- click-y, hypocritical, and believing that if you don't go to every event, there must be something 'wrong' with your spiritual life. You got the message across very well.

Very moving, I myself have been convicted by the Almighty for being hypocriticle. It hurt me, to realize what I had done, but He gave me wisdom and showed me where I went wrong. Yes, my own prayers go out to you as well.Keep da Faith Sis, GB!

I like this. It's one of those rare poems that rhyme, but the rhyme doesn't get in the way of what's being said. Good poem!

This poem reminds me of my dad. He's never been there for me, i find all my solice in my mother. WD

Liked it. I get what you saying - I have a friend, who is Gay, and when he came out, a bunch of his "Christian" friends saw fit to boycott him. Bastards. I thought they were meant to love thy neighbour. Anyway, I see where you're coming from, and though this is probably too personel for me to really understand, I did like it a lot.

I like how you described and worded your feelings into this piece. Awesome , I can't relate , But I've seen and heard it happen . God Bless you xoxoxox

strong message...definately reminds me of a few people too. good work!
