Crisis of belief
I thought I had found my place
Finally somewhere that felt like home
I put my trust into something bigger and I was happy
G-d had hands on me

And then it fell apart
With a few simple words I felt lost again
I had left the Catholic Church to be Jewish
For the first time being in synagogue felt just as isolating

My whole life I’ve felt like I’m being punished for things I didn’t do
Here I am again
But this time it feels like losing a home
I don’t want to keep this pattern

I have to start over
I don’t know if I can go back there after what you did
But either way
I won’t lose myself again

Not to you…
