God

I am a polytheist, this much is true
Most have one God, me I have two
One God sits in heaven and is ever kind
The other is mean and lives in my mind

The god in my head tells me I'm bad
Makes me feel guilty, shameful and sad
I cannot please him however I try
He does not love me, and I wonder why

But if this god in my head does abide
He must be so small to fit just inside
Or my head must be amazingly large
To contain the god who is ever in charge

If I examine this god in my head
I realize that he is nothing to dread
For he is nothing more than myself
I've just taken the word 'god' off the shelf

There are not two gods but only One
Who loves me so much to send forth His Son
Even the heavens can never contain
The weight of His glory or the length of His reign

So I will worship the God who is above
Who showers His blessings and promises love
And I will know that the god in my head
Is not living but is ever dead.
