what will you do without that cross to bear that visible sign of your purity the white religious banner you tightly wrap your true thoughts in as if wearing some supportive undergarment to give your life the right shape what happens at night when your remove it who do you see in the mirror and who lies beside you
everything we can just so remove and put it on again like a garment or a piece of jewelry is not really what we’re really convinced of with the depth of our soul..right…?
i like the idea of our supposed beliefs giving us shape… and that, if they aren’t *really* how we think, we take them off at night with our clothes and our pretenses. what shape have we then? a thought-provoking piece…

Yes, and there’s more types of abuse than sexual hiding behind that cross!
I once bore that cross…I was liberated the day I removed the undergarment I thought gave my life shape…Well penned!
Dogma, beliefs– what’s important and what is a substitute for thinking? Your verse initiates thinking– well done.
that is the question!!!! that is the question indeed.
