A S H A M E D

**to the one who struggles, the one who cries, the one who shames and the one who hides.**

Is my living in vain?

Is my giving in vain?

Is my singing in vain?

Is my praying in vain?

You don't see my struggle.

You don't see my pain.

You don't know the years i've had to sustain

and maintain

my sanity

down on my knees begging the Father please

Please take this away!

you're ashamed?

so am I

the nights I had to cry

wondering why I caught the plague that God disdains

I

AM

ASHAMED!

"love the sinner, hate the sin"

i've heard that time and time again

from hypocrites that look like you

everybody plays the fool

when it comes to me

and my sexuality

blissful ignorance to my face

wondering if you should hate or embrace...

me.
