we are...[christians]

we are straight, gay and bi. we don't know if we're sober or high, strung out or burned up. we give our lips and vaginas to a hundred men. we give our heart to no one. we over eat, under eat, forget to eat. we sleep too much, suffer insomnia and pray for a cold metal relief from life. depression, insanity, institution and chemicals to fix the instabilities.

we cheat on our wives, fail to tithe and slap our children. a million business trips make us rich and push us up the ladder high enough to jump. summer heat makes us as cold as our failed conscience and winter heats the storms inside our loins. light makes us squeeze our eyes and darkness pushes them out of our head into nothing.

we ignore God. we ask God why. we scream, cry, breathe but for get to pray for relief. we want joy. salvation. life.

we are bound by one thing. we are His. He called, drew, purchased, purged this shit from us and took it. took everything we have become.

we are alone. we are together. i am we.
