Someone Who Needs To Be Loved
poem/song about religious trauma

if you're pushing me over the edge
hoping I'll reach for god again...
you better hope that I don't drown
because I'll haunt you till your own end.
/
everytime I think
you're pulling me out of the water
you're pushing my head
sinking me further under
/
I'm not a soul to save
I'm not a sinner who needs to pray
I'm not a broken thing
I'm someone who needs to be loved.
/
if you're pushing me to rock bottom
hoping I'll believe in your bullshit again...
I can't be gaslighted like I once was...
So spare me your guilt trips and hymns.
/
every scripture verse
is a dagger to my heart.
you think you're saving me from hell
but you're ripping me apart!
/
I'm not a soul to save
I'm not a sinner who needs to pray
I'm not a broken thing
I'm someone who needs to be loved.
/
I'm someone real,
Made of flesh and blood.
But a god in your own mind
Is more worthy of your love!
/
I'm not a soul to save
I'm not a sinner who needs to pray
I'm not a broken thing
I'm someone who needs to be loved.
