Sister Lilith

(Based on the band: Dogma) Lilith entered the convent at thirteen, not out of devotion, but as penance for a sin she never confessed. The sisters called her gifted—her voice like angels, her silence even holier. She obeyed, prayed, fasted. Years passed beneath the chapel’s cold stone, where every desire was chained, every thought policed. But temptation crept in like ivy: in the flicker of candlelight on bare skin, in the dreams she dared not speak. One storm-heavy night, she followed the whispers instead of scripture. She kissed Sister Magdalene beneath the crucifix—and felt more alive than in any prayer. Guilt clawed at her until it rotted into clarity: this God she served had no love for her. So she shed her habit, tore the rosary from her throat, and walked barefoot into the rain. She took the name Lilith, the first woman who would not bow. In her new gospel, the body is sacred, pleasure is truth, and shame is the last sin she ever repented.
