Anonmous Questions

They come back to bite.
And bite hard.

For February,
And Valentine's Day,
The whole "month of love" thing,
My church small groups did a thing
Where we submitted questions
About love, dating, sex, all that jazz.
And we did not put our names.

I decided to challenge the house leader.
He had said multiple times
That he believes dating in high school
Is a good thing.
I'm not against it myself
(after all, I have a pretty awesome boyfriend)
But I guess I wanted to hear his reasonings.
So coming from the perspective of:
"Is it wise to date at a young age
Like 16
If there is a small chance
(as all the statics claim)
That you and your significant other
Will get married,
And thus you'll be giving away pieces of your heart
That you will never get back?"
I asked
"Is it crazy to ask for forever at 16?"

Bad wording,
I know.
But I asked it.

And was called crazy.
He offered a straight jacket
To the asker,
And then asked
"Who wrote this?"

Well,
OF COURSE
I'll tell you now.

It's as if
He didn't think
That behind the question was a girl,
Frightened,
Worried,
Scared.
And questioning herself,
And trying to hold on to her faith.

Now I ask you:
Will any one else dare to ask
A daring question again?
