Cease Judgment

Submitted by Lyrah on October 5, 2008 - 13:32.

Which way
Am I meant to turn,
When heaven is
Locked and
My body is limp?

When I have
Forgotten to
Say my prayers?
Am I forgiven?

Will I cease
Existence?
What is my

Punishment?

Judgment day
They tell me.

I don't believe
in

Judgment day.

Because I don't
have secrets
From the wind.

The sun is my heart.

I bury my thoughts
In the grass.

I am already opened
And

Earth
Doesn't judge.
