beyoncé - denial (poem) lyrics

i tried to change
closed my mouth more
tried to be soft, prettier
less… awake
fasted for 60 days
wore white
abstained from mirrors
abstained from s-x
slowly did not speak another word
and that time my hair i grew past my ankles
i slept on a mat on the floor
i swallowed a sword
i levitated
into the bas-m-nt
confessed my sins
and was baptized in a river
got on my knees and said, “amen”
and said, “i mean”
i whipped my own back
and asked for dominion at your feet
i threw myself into a volcano
i drank the blood and drank the wine
i sat alone in begged and bent at the waist for god
i crossed myself in thought
i saw the devil
i grew thickened skin on my feet
i bathed in bleach
and plugged my menses with the pages from the holy book
but still inside me coiled deep was the need to know
are you cheating?
are you cheating on me?
