Poem; Courage of The Honest Queer

Courage of The Honest Queer

by L. C. Bellami

written in the year of our Lord 2014

Born this Way

Born this Gai

I’m not a sin

Not led astray

I’m not a Mistake

God did not Forsake

I’m not Confused

I am not Fake

You tell your Lies

You spread your Hate

Your Wickedness will be your Fate

I am not Hiding

I won’t live a Lie

Not for you or anyone will I Lay Down and Die

I Will Stand and I will Fight

and I will always do what I think is Right

  

I am not Weak

But you Are Blind

I see your mask

On flesh you dine

You think you speak on God’s behalf

You are nothing but a talking Ass

You say you haven’t met the right woman yet

Well you haven’t had The Right Man make you wet

So go on with your ignorant games

You do not Know, you can not say

I was born this way, born this Gai

Your sin will Not lead me astray

You say I chose, but when did you

You sit un-hearing in your Sunday pew

I’m not confused, I am not You

I am who I am, despite those with no Clue 

God Made me as I am to stay

He tells me so when I do Pray

He Loves me always, even when I’m Odd

This Truth I Know beyond all facades

I Am a child of The Living God
