They told me they’d love me like a god
Kneel at my altar
Hang me up on their wall
And refuse my every need
They told me they’d worship me
But was worship ever enough?
There\'s an absolute sameness
Between a girl and her god
Because a girl’s anger is biblical
She would scream her throat raw
Praying to be believed
There is something so holy
In the way she rots
In the way her faith grows teeth and bites
Bites at everything she believes
She bites into God
She bites with all her rage
With her mother’s rage
With her grandmother’s rage
A terrible, hereditary wrath
A domestic anger
