It was very hard growing up as a JW in my teen years. I used to put all my feelings and thoughts down with the intention that if they helped just one person then it was worth it. Funny thing is, is that I helped myself to start working through many of the issues I would end up confronting (along with more to come in the future). With that thought I would like to share a poem I wrote and if any of you have any comments or opinions...please give me feedback.
"Belief Hierarchy"
Unconventionalistic views
Written in prose
Complicate your system
Belive to impose
Frightened of change
Chaotic organization
Judgemental conclusion
Or higher realization
Tempted to run
Bliss in naivity
But you faith has become
Crumbled in quality
Representing the fears
Of truths shattered
Disclosing the reality
Of what really mattered
It wasnt my ideas
Proved weak or string
But the fact I represented
That you might be wrong
(I hope this will help someone get through another night - just like it got me though so many years)
