They said

"Burn the witches"

but didn't know that we

danced with the devil

Fire can't kill us

To everyone who tries to drag me down,

remember,

I was so often

in hell

that I call it

home

Sometimes

home

can be

a song

We're all just lonely souls

trying to find comfort

in the words

we write

and the stories that

we tell

Single,

because the queen

rules her kingdom

by herself

Fire

can't kill a witch

Our souls will be haunting

the men that set our sisters on fire

and become demons

to burn all the men

We’ve been taught from a young age

that love

is either between a man and a woman

or a mother and her child.

Never between two women

Never between two men

Never between two souls

Never between a father and his child

Never in a sisterhood

Never in a brotherhood

Never in a friendship way

Never in an admiring way

Never towards another color of skin

Never towards the planet

Never towards animals

Never in a way of activism

Never as a way of support

Never as a way of acceptance

Never as a way of celebrating life

And of course

Never in the way of loving ourselves
