They stop and stare
I hear their “silent whispers”
They say I’m a disgrace to society
They say I’m fast tracking my way to hell.
Fake friends keep their distance afraid I might derail them from their straightness
They don’t understand how a woman can love another woman
They don’t understand how my body can long for another woman’s touch
They say I’m demon possessed
That I’m out of touch with reality
Yet they are the ones out of touch with reality
we all know love is blind, it knows no colour, sex or age
They say I should pray hard, fast and stay away from women
They suggest I get a man, someone “who will give me children”
“Someone who will take care of me and provide for my family”
I suggest I get a woman, someone I can have children for
Someone who can have children for me
Someone who will understand me and how my body works
Someone who will take care of me and I of them
I am who I am
They can talk, laugh, pray, fast
But fact still remains I’m made in God’s image and Only God alone can judge me
And until judgement day I’ll stay true to myself and my hearts desires
Straight, bisexual, lesbian, gay, transgender take away the label and we are all nothing but crushed cans and broken bottles.
