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
