recovering catholic
—by Conghalaigh
recovering catholic
hell dawn, i cant even think on this right now
the anger still lives there
so am i recovered?
am i over the betrayal
the way i was
cast out
the way i hated god
because of his mouth pieces
because i wasn't humbled by oppression
i guess i should be thankful
because i found the world
i wouldn't know
things i learned from the goddess
and all those other versions
of compassion
things i know exist
things i haven't mastered
when i think of priests
and the guilt they teach
