The energy of love
Feels far removed
Embodied by priests within outdated views of female sexuality
There are men with longings that tell me how to live my life so that they feel better about themselves
There are these bots all over the internet whose sole purpose in life is to try to convince you that you are wrong

Desperate to figure out who the "yellow rose of Texas" really is
Is that all you consider yourself to be?
But you're so much more than what they told you that you are!
They've tried to steal your light so that you won't see the truth
See your power - the power in divergence, and the cinder block walls that come to meet you with resistance
For they mean that you've attempted to fight for something that is bigger than yourself
