Poem
Dear God, This is a letter from your queer daughter. Wait, hold up did this girl just say queer? "You are not a child of God!" Someone shouts! Oh shut up! This is my letter. Anyway you know I grew up in church Singing your songs swaying in the pews Lifting my hands high up Shouting my praises Hallelujah Amen! God is GOOD! But as I grew older Just the thought of your name made me squirm Soon the songs changed pitch And sounded off key I couldn't sit through a Sunday school class Without cringing When bibles were being handed out I pulled my hand away Like your word would burn me like hot coals And soon after that the music completely stopped I wasn't going to church I cut ties with my choir boy and flower girl looking friends I traded Sunday dresses for ripped tights and combat boots I cut my hair SHORT I got called a boy But I wasn't offended I started looking at boys in a new way I liked them Soon after that...I also started looking at girls I felt the same feeling I felt for boys I wasn't ashamed... I was told I should being what they called a "christian" But I wasn't one I didn't want to even be one The name sounded dirty Foul I wanted to gag at the sound Bringing up my past is never good And you know I still am not a "Christian" I believe in God, but that doesn't mean "Christian" No offense big man but your hardcore "followers", these so called Christians, hate me They are the BIGGEST hypocrites I've met "Oh we love everyone" they claim But once they find out the truth about me? "God hates fags!" "Sinner!" "Blaspheme!" Your reply? "SCREW YOU SHE IS MY DAUGHTER TOO!" Wait can god say screw you? I guess it doesn't matter I mean you are God. Personally I think it would be awesome to hear you say screw you That would make me want to give you a high five And you know God I realize now You aren't all bad I may not have it figured all out But black or white Young or old Boy or Girl Straight or queer You love me all the same With all her love, Your Queer Daughter :) P.S. Thanks for the rainbows :)
