I WONDER IF I MAY share a poem with you from a young lady whom i am currently supporting at work..............

GAY

I can’t help being Gay,
When mum had me I was born that way
If I had a choice then I would change
I would be heterosexual any day
--------------------------You were born with brown hair and you can’t help it
God knitted you together and that’s how he dealt it
Homosexuality is a thorn in my side
Can’t tell you how many nights I have cried
---------------------------------God made me white, gave me size seven feet
So for my sexual preference he can take responsibility
Single you require me to bear
I don’t deny you for one minute but I think you’re unfair.
I hear heterosexual couples say
Practising homosexuality will make you stray
-----------------------------------------------I hear God saying “laid out before you is a feast, take a plate, help yourself but you must not eat”
You can have your cake but eat it you must not
Maybe if I lick just the icing and say “sorry God, I forgot”
I know I will have to make mistakes
But I’m worried as to the end I will take
------------------------------------------God is real I deny Him not
He was there; I felt his presence when my head went to pot
But why oh why does it cause me such grief,
The hassle and heart ache in having a belief
-------------------------------------------I’m sick to death of the battle with in
Will God ever come, and peace with Him bring
Maybe one day I will love a man
But when I think of kissing him, I don’t think that I can
Who knows I could be surprised
I have learnt it’s not the sex that’s important
It’s the person inside.




Such a sad and profound statement from a young woman whom self harms every single day..............[but has ceased for the last week.......BABY STEPS DO WORK]

i WONDER IF we can all be so open about our inner turmoil, and express its intensity in such a way.

the saddest thing is this 29 year old woman until seven days ago had never heard anyone say ...........i hear you
