Playing God - Chasity Hamilton

Tell me from your righteous throne,
how wrong I am to wallow in my filth.

Tell me how sane you are when
held against my sins.

Tell me how I play God,
as I refuse the sunshine in.

Tell me you know sadness
as I am knee deep in in my woes.

Tell me how I am wrong,
how you "understand".

How every scar didn't have to exist.
How every lie hasn't kissed my wrists.

Tell me I am messed up-
I never claimed opposition.

Tell me how my biggest crime,
was not being more like you.

Tell me.
Tell me you "understand".
Tell me you want
as I trade chains for bleeding bedsheets.

Tell me you need
as I fight the whimpers in my throat.

Tell me my biggest sin,
was playing God.\

But only tell me so....
when you've been where I have been.
