Alone in my Religion

alone in my religion i stand
not knowing whether to hold my head up high
or to hang my head in guilt
no one understands where i come from
it's like i'm an alien
i finally feel like i belong to something
and certain people want to take that away from me
my heart aches to be free
but no one will allow me to speak freely
i bite my tongue 'til i taste blood
my pulse stops thumping
my heart stops bleeding
my blood stops gushing
you may kill me
but you will never kill my religion
