Gay child of fundamental Christians,
Born broken, damaged, full of sin.
To straighten me is the only mission,
Of this church I’m raised in.
My soul is shrouded in darkness,
Or so church elders say.
So, I search all day for lightness,
To cast this evil away.
“Have faith in Him,” I’m told.
“For He’ll illuminate the way.”
but His love for me runs cold,
He doesn’t answer when I pray.
Created in His likeness,
My will has steered me wrong.
I choose to be unrighteous,
I must change to belong.
Simply follow the straight and narrow.
Live my life in black and white.
Hide the rainbows in my marrow.
Those colors shine too bright.
Beg Jesus for forgiveness.
Beg the father up above.
For the real sin committed,
Is loving whom I love.
