Just Because I'm A Taurus, Doesn't Mean That I Can't Change

About not believing what I've been told my entire life about God and religion, and having to pretend. I can't help being agnostic.

I'll watch from my darkened window
When the world comes down
Blocking out the screams
With delusional daydreams--
I'd laugh to see the Mona Lisa frown.
-
They try to shove the fight in my face,
They say to eat it with a spoon,
But I'm so over that--
I'd rather have a quiet chat
With the voices in my mind's cocoon.
-
I'm letting everybody down so badly
And loving every minute of it,
Swearing at the sky--
They're left to wonder why,
But I'm alright with pieces that don't fit.
-
Nobody ever needs a cynic around,
It's funny how they all tune in
When you check out,
Let them despair in my doubt--
After all, this is my fate, already written.

excellent poem. goes to show you think outside the box and leave the sheep to themselves. you have the courage of your convictions. great poem.

A very well written and interesting poem. There wasn't any noticeable flaws and the poem gives of the sense of being agnostic pretty well. Overall, it was very good.

Very good. I love the phrase "...to see the Mona Lisa frown," even though I'm not sure what it means.
