The sun shines,
but not for me.
I live in a dark world.
Fire burns under my feet.

I’ve skimmed through that sacred book.
I didn’t like what I’d seen.
I believed in something bigger
than what the world allowed me to be.

So call me a sinner.
I’ll rot away my afterlife to make up for what I’ve done.
But at least I lived knowing
I could love who I want.
