Forgive me Father for I have sinned,
It’s been 15 years since my last confession, so you might want to clear your schedule
It’s going to take a while.
What’s my penance,
A few “Hail Mary” s?
That’s fine
I’ve got it memorized, forward and back.
Want me to say it in Latin?
I can do that.
How many “Our Father” s
Do I have to say
For being gay?
I’ll say them
I know that one, too.
Tell me father
If I slit my wrists to form a cross
Will I get to heaven?
Don’t test me Father,
I’ll do it.
What’s my penance father?
Tell me how to pray
God, forgive the sin of my existence
What’s my penance father?
I don't want to be gay.
