My Heart Is Red

This is an example of what I want for the contest: 
"A rhyme story/poem with eyes on "  



Visions of belonging held fast inside my heart 
I want to be accepted for who I am my Lord 
but all they see is a he she, and a shifty tart  
even in the days of old, only men wore swords 
time has changed but not re-arranged their ways 
yesterday appearing same, a cornucopia of straight 
today we have the trans, lesbians, gays 
and those serving up, fear and utter hate 
I love the feel of lingerie God, so why can't I ? 
my heart is red like theirs, it pumps, it hurts 
I shed so many tears I've forgotten how to cry  
can you love me just like this, without revert?
Sitting on this pew I've come to realize all I do is flee 
and although your son was crucified at thirty three  
I'm still here Father, .. you made me like I am   
my heart is red like theirs, I suffer when I can't be me.

You have penned a truly powerful message here. It's a shame more people don't realize that God loves all of his children and I mean all of them!
