REGINA OBENZA

We are but just sheep
To follow the words of God
Translated by the mouth of a man
We turn our eyes away
From what we don't understand
And call it a sin
Chained down to 'paradise.'
But why?
Why must I not see over the wall?
To see a different view?
Why do you plunge me into raging waters for asking questions?
For doubting your beliefs?
There is more to the world than 'paradise'.
More than these high walls.
More than our beliefs.
Unchain yourself and look over the wall.
Because 'paradise' isn't just here.

• FIND UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE - Many of us can't blindly follow the words said in the bible without question. Find these people so you can sort out your feelings and the loneliness can disappear
• ASK QUESTIONS - No one should deny your curiosity. It's not fun to be left in the dark; ask your questions no matter what
• BE ALRIGHT - Your life isn't just your religion; it isn't what defines you as wholly. If you feel lost, it's okay. You will be alright.
