You

Every Sunday

Philosophy is raped.

And I’m tired of straight men

Who imagine a father so weak

They could put him on a cross.

And I don’t need anyone to die for me;

I did that already.

I gave up my childhood

For an adult mentality I could run to.

And now I walk an existence

Not fully formed.

It is definable, perhaps,

But I can’t find anyone with the heart for that.



I have committed sins

Which I never atoned for.

I’ve been too busy atoning for sins

I never committed.

You condemned me to this.
