I am a sinner who blasphemes every god I’ve come across
I am a martyr who murders every weak I’ve stumbled upon
My mother believes in god and she still has trouble smiling
I take a deep breath and look around this room filled up with hollow stones
Around the edge, circles of dust, filled up with empty black roses
My father believes in god and he still has trouble smiling
Please take this gun, this shiny gun, and force it down my throat
I can’t take this knife, this shiny knife, and cut open my wrists
I told you I believed in god, but I had some trouble smiling.
So here I am, a mark on time
An agnostic to the end
So tell me what, god, tell me what
I should believe in.
I am a sinner blaspheming every god I hate
Take a picture of the world as you pass the pearly gates
You tell me you believe in god, you tell me while you’re smiling
So I was wrong, maybe I was wrong.
But tell me who will fight me?
Author notes
"I am a sinner who blasphemes every god"
"My mother believes in god and she still has trouble smiling"
These above lines are majorly similar to lines in Omgz Manduhh's poem "I am a sinner blashpheming every god".
Please tell me what you think

Dark With Captivating Line
The phrases in lines 3, 7, 10 and 17 spoke to me. In a way they are me. I believe in God but sometimes I find it difficult to smile. -

Well, like I said in the poem, I'm agnostic. So I believe, yeah, there's a higher power. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to figure out which one it is. It's a huge question mark for me, and I thought I'd write this to let people know exactly how I view religion.
Thank you for your comment; it's much appreciated.

I got some of the idea and a couple of the lines from one of Amanda's poems.
I should write that down...
