My Choice

By Wiccad

Born a jehovahs witness
Brought up in this way
Unable to make my own choices

No birthday celebrations
No christmas presents
No normal kid fun

My mother taken in by them
The cult that brain washed
Told her I was wicked

Childhood was disturbed
Unable to fit with classmates
Prosecuted for mothers beliefs

My father
My sanctuary
My mentor

Crossed over
Taken too soon,extinguished
Torn from my life

Daddy will never again
Call me his princess
Tell me how proud he was

Accepted me for who I was
Being different from others
I was always a blessing to him

Age and acceptance
Have shown me my path
A Wicca at heart, not wicked

To do what I will
And harm none
Is what he would want me to be

A better father there will never be
Love you daddy
Miss you daddy
 
See you on the other side.............

  • A former member wrote: Such a heartfelt tribute. I also agree with one's right to choose their own religion rather than to be bred into it... Keep writing and honing your craft. Good read. :)
