We
Want Our Faith Back
Why
is it the priest go around to their merry followers?
and
never once come to see us and when they do, just like what happened
to me, the priest was sent away to another part of the country.
I
was thrashed if I spoke, so I learnt to keep my month shut and to bow
down to the nuns and priest. God gave me a voice for a reason, to
tell the truth and I will use my voice to name those keeping secrets.
They took my innocents and my soul
Many
of the priest (Good Shepherds) have left us and abused us, but the
one who left the 99 sheep to find more of his lost flock is still
with us and he still loves us.
I
am one of the Shepherd's sheep who is lost and no Shepherd has come
looking for me. I am left out here as us sheep are scattered near
and far away, because we are kept out there for the wolves in the
night, to do their evil onto us
We
want our faith back.
We
want our childhood given back to us.
We
want healing and freedom from our tormentors.
We
want understanding from the Catholic Church who abused us.
We
want acknowledgment to the abuse which was done to us as little
children.
We
want to have friends to talk to.
We
want to stop running away when ever we get close to any one.
