Heather was my best person friend
for the time I was with her growing up
God should have been so the songs told me
but He was too confusing
too fair weather
Daddy and Mommy said they were God's voice
preaching the "good news"
of what I was never sure
the god Mommy and Daddy were always mad at me
And what's good about that?
they said their new People were gods too
They had to be obeyed
i thought there were only 3 gods in one person
and that we have a friend in Jesus
but i guess i got that wrong
i tried, so hard it hurt
but not hard enough for the new god People
who didn't like me
any more than the other god People.
i also didn't understand the love part
My bible said God is love
and He cares like a shepherd for sheep
But the god People didn't care, and weren't there
not like the not-god daddies and mommies
who took care of their kids
and loved them
and kept them safe
Maybe the god People were love for other sheep
and their good news was only for them?
kids who weren't bad little lambs like me
sheep who were prettier, not fat, ugly
who didn't get in their way
I don't know what I did to be bad
To make the god People so mad
I never cried when god Dad left
or god Mom didn't want to be with me
I tried really hard to smile when god Mom's god Husband laughed at me
and serve god Dad's god Wife as She said
But God knows everything and hates sin
So the god People knew things about me I don't
I must not be good in my heart
that's why the god People don't like me
that's why they don't want to be my friend
