To Be A Mormon
To go to an ugly brick building filled with inaccurate,
sloppy paintings
To walk in and see a painting of white Jesus
To run through the poorly-carpeted halls
To play line tag in the smelly, badly built gym
To be forced to clean it because they want to keep you in line
To be brainwashed from birth
To be asked about your sex life by your bishop in a 1 on 1
meeting when you’re 12
To be considered “worthy” only if you follow all the rules
To have every part of your life controlled
To not be able to make your own choices
To be stuck with your deteriorating mental health and the
knowledge that nobody there accepts you as you are
To be in one of the worst places you can possibly be
To wish you were free
Everyone else here thinks it’s great
They believe the church is true
But they don’t even know the truth
They simply just believe
You don’t know how bad it is
Until you start to leave
