In the prose poem Stories You Tell Your Children, "~SadisticIceCream"explores a controversial and deeply personal topic and handles it with elegance, honesty, and a marked lack of bitterness" (suggester's words). Thank you for responding respectfully.

A prose poem in ten parts.

In many ways, I've been trying to write this for years and years. Today I finally just did it. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but it's as close as I've come to putting this into proper words as I've ever gotten.

I've grown up in a series of small, christian, redneck towns. I've grown up with an atheist for a mother and a devout catholic as an aunt and uncle, and I've grown up alongside Baptist extremists and atheist extremists alike as friends.
This piece is amazing and unapologetically raw, and I identify with it so much. I've been surrounded by so many people who love God and love religion, and I've always felt like there's something missing inside of me. The hallowed stomach part really got to me.
Thank you ♥
