You Said (NaPoMo 13)

 

You said I could not know of love,

You called me a queer, a sham

Unwanted in the realms above

For who 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
