I Wish I Believed In Jesus

My family is Muslim. 
I was raised Muslim.
I never believed in any of it.
I wore a headscarf for a while, I kind of hated it though.
I tried to pretend to believe in holy things, and I was jealous of the ones who didn’t have to pretend.
I pretend a lot, I pretend I’m happy when I’m not. 
I pretend I’m cool, and smart, and ‘individual’. 
I am none of these things. 
I’m not sure what I am. 
I do wish I believed in Jesus though.
He seems like he’s really happy, and cool, and smart and individual.

  1. I love this. Can't explain why. It's just the way it's inner monologue done as poetry.

  2. play bazaar Exercise is an important habit for those who have GERD, but your timing is key. Wait for two hours after eating before you become active, and don't follow your activity with a sports drink as they are acidic and can make your GERD flare up. Instead, drink water or milk to refuel.satta king
