You Said

You said I could not know of love, You called me a *****, a sham Unwanted in the realms above For whom I am My life, no longer worth a damn I called your name, you looked away, I’m sick, you say, that’s’ what I am Because I’m gay I did not choose to be this way I can’t pretend that I am straight For life is not a game we play Nor will it wait If only I could make you see I am still me Walian Sonnet
