they say don’t judge other people
yet they do
sorry my book of truth offends you
and makes you hostile towards the world
the world that was destined for you
to be good, to give you eternal salvation
and what did you do to ***** it up?
press your lips against a body
against a boy who hates your guts
who only wants you for favors
you worship his unreliable devotion to you
then, call him crap after he cheats
the throne placed in the desert
He sits on it, tears rolling down His
perfect saddened face
so many people mistake His true meaning
hide behind things such as misogyny
or forcefulness or the dust on the pages
i believe, i believe, i believe
you don’t have to, you can participate
in a meaningless life, striking your
fist against our faces, but i will always
turn my other cheek for you
you can have every square inch of my
pride and dignity and after that, i will still
keep turning my other cheek
your bullets ricochet off my bulletproof vest, sorry my book of truth offends you
