Because to Live I Must (Free verse) by TLRufener
Father do not forgive me
Because to live I must sin
This story is quite lengthy
With the main points I will begin
You may have confirmed my words
But you can never have my heart
Youâre devoted to your precious god
Our beliefs are worlds apart
The part I always play
Is just a thick façade to the truth
I have chosen my own path
One in which you will not approve
On this the day of Sunday
In which I was confirmed
I am in the state of mortal sin
At least to what you have learned
Alone at night I cast my spells
I do not pray to your Jesus Christ
My heart lies with the old ways
But my family would never see it right
Because to live I must hide
Or be faced with the desertion
I must remain a Closet Witch
Until I have the courage to pull back the curtain
