Being Gay Is Not Gay -Requested

One step forward, two steps back Couldn’t get in and couldn’t get out The closet is open, but hands were locked Sneer and hateful words judgment shout. Do you feel that pain when no one stays? Even family you love doesn’t remain People you believe in lead you astray. It’s a struggle to smile, a life you must maintain. If one guy you love, you’ve done a crime When it’s two in the battle you killed, you’re a man. What perception does this world rhymes? Discrimination all over, indeed very human! In this religious society where doctrine governs, Literally Bible scriptures are translated by vain. Some people condemn in a manner so stern The life of those who are already drowned in pain.

Poignant write. For many, any excuse to bully is good. It starts young and just keeps going. I wish I had learned that lesson earlier in life.
