Ame Val Poet Dramatic Monologue

Am I Legal

Am I legal?
The law announced yesterday,
That being me is illegal.
For  every passing day,
The malady becomes more lethal.
I didn’t want this, If I got to pick,
I try every remedy, every trick,
But each coming morning I am more virulent, more sick.

They call me an atheist,
An abomination to any deity.
But I believe in god,
The immortal, the almighty.
But I am yet to find a religion in this world, that accepts my being.
That gives me love, for which I’ve been praying.
I have concealed myself so long, I could use some fraying.

And for the lack of courage or shame,
I choose to remain censored.
Till someone could comprehend,
Am I legal?; a question unanswered.

If only more ppl were like you!! I'm not against homophobes, I think everyone has a right to have opinions and express them. But hating someone for such a frugal thing is so sad! And to top it, THE LAW of any country SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON HATE!!!
