I never knew
That you were you
To me you were what those people hid behind
When they could not justify why they were blind
I blamed you when I was taken away,
Away from my family, because they were gay
You showed me absolutely no mercy
When society raped me
You sat there and laughed when they said
That my aunt and her lover were legally dead
They told me you loved me and said you forgave
But I had not even the rite to visit my mother's grave
They said that you were God and you would love and except me
But they kept reminding me that I was an abomination for my sexuality
SO I come to you
But I don't really know you
I cannot possibly love the god they have made of you
But in my own time, I will see you?re real hue

Sad but Strong
This piece is a very moving, powerful write. As I read it, my eyes were just open wide, and I read every line, glued to the statements you were making. This piece is interesting and sad. How sad. Very nice write. Good luck in the contest!!! -
