it is easy to sit on a pew in a dress
utter an empty amen
bear a long-gone testimony.
all you have to do is lie
to everyone
who has ever looked up to you
ever wanted to be like you
ever wanted their sons to date you
ever compared their daughters to you.
just remember that you’re still going on a mission if they ask,
still only need a temple-marriage.
count out your future kids,
they’re all your body will ever be good for.
get ready to cook and clean
your world is confined to the walls of your own home.
but no one ever asked me
if this wasn’t what i wanted.
only a sinner could dream of more.
even if it was love
at the foundation
of my iniquities.
all the thoughts 
this is really pretty.
the writing, not the meaning.
the meaning is a sorry truth.

You literally took thoughts out of my brain and put them into a poem. I can relate to this so so much.
