Transition to Flames

luciformspiral:

i

Once thought the most beautiful
Lucifer was cast out of the only home he knew
when he began thinking for himself
and decided it wasn’t okay for his destiny
to be decided for him by his father
He ate of the fruit first
and discovered he was more than
what he was assigned to be at birth

ii

He now does as he pleases,
and presents however he chooses.
He promotes survival over sacrifice
and knowledge over blind faith
He is free to pursue every aspect of himself
that his old home taught him to despise

He lives on when they swore he could not
with no judgement
with no remorse
He shed that comfortable lie
For the glory of eternal transition

iii

The father who once had choirs sing his praise
Now spits upon his new name
He is seen as abomination in the home he left
but it doesn’t matter to him anymore

He has made his own home
from the flames God swore he would never survive
His father spits on that too
Threatens the disobedient that they too shall burn
Lucifer can only hope he means it
He could always use another sibling at his side

The kingdom that claims to be the brightest light
Only seems to shine
When they paint their child in ashes
to shield faithful eyes from the brilliant flames

iv

Heaven will never be satisfied
until Lucifer is destroyed
or stripped of all he truly is

Lucifer understands that these options
are one in the same

He isn’t about to give into the pressure
after all he suffered to get this far

Lucifer is transgender
as am I
He will not give up on himself
And neither shall I
