you bar me from the gates of heaven and deny me paradise your smoking threat burns in my lungs and my eyes close slowly as i cough up the last secrets of a soul laid bare and you decide hell is my home well, the devil welcomes me because i am one of her daughters a girl of horrifying beauty and unrestrained love risen from the ash of a hate you said would protect me you were meant to love them instead you sewed fear so when we reached out a hand, they fell into our arms and for the first time they found a home that was safe

a loving home
you bar me from the gates of heaven and deny me paradise your smoking threat burns in my lungs and my eyes close slowly as i cough up the last secrets of a soul laid bare and you decide hell is my home well, the devil welcomes me because i am one of her daughters a girl of horrifying beauty and unrestrained love risen from the ash of a hate you said would protect me you were meant to love them instead you sewed fear so when we reached out a hand, they fell into our arms and for the first time they found a home that was safe
So this was heavily inspired by the game We Know The Devil and PhemieC's fansong Daughter Of God, as well as my own experiences as a queer kid. You should definitely go check out that game. Please. It's really good.
