I'm a good person, I swear I hold my friends when no one's there I give my heart, I give my care So tell me why I'm ****** somewhere I help the weak, I calm the cries I wipe the tears from their hurt eyes I tell the truth and try not to lie Yet still I'm told I'm born to die Because a book says who I kiss Could cost my soul eternal bliss As if my love is venom's bliss As if her lips are empty Because a verse, because a line Because men claimed their God was mine They taught me, love was some design To drag my spirit out of line They taught me every ache I had Each broken thought, each season bad Was proof that I was born to sad Too wrong, too ***** weak, and bad Religion took my tender years And filled them up with guilt and fear Made every mirror insincere Tell me, "I deserve it here." It taught me if I loved a girl The gates of heaven shut and curled Like kindness mattered less than words Written to wound a softer world It taught me that struggle was a stain That hurt made me less sane That surviving all that private pain Still left me branded all the same But I am not the sin they preach I'm not the shame their sermons teach I'm not the hell they love to reach Whenever someone lives outside their speech Im kind, Im human, I am real I know what hurt people feel And if their God would burn that still Then maybe hell's more honest still So if their heaven hates my heart And tears soft souls like mine apart Then let their holy judgment start Religion made me hate myself But I was good from the start But I am kind, and I am true I've lived through hell and made it through If love like mine, they still undo Then hell will have to make me room

In hell I will be
I'm a good person, I swear I hold my friends when no one's there I give my heart, I give my care So tell me why I'm ****** somewhere I help the weak, I calm the cries I wipe the tears from their hurt eyes I tell the truth and try not to lie Yet still I'm told I'm born to die Because a book says who I kiss Could cost my soul eternal bliss As if my love is venom's bliss As if her lips are empty Because a verse, because a line Because men claimed their God was mine They taught me, love was some design To drag my spirit out of line They taught me every ache I had Each broken thought, each season bad Was proof that I was born to sad Too wrong, too ***** weak, and bad Religion took my tender years And filled them up with guilt and fear Made every mirror insincere Tell me, "I deserve it here." It taught me if I loved a girl The gates of heaven shut and curled Like kindness mattered less than words Written to wound a softer world It taught me that struggle was a stain That hurt made me less sane That surviving all that private pain Still left me branded all the same But I am not the sin they preach I'm not the shame their sermons teach I'm not the hell they love to reach Whenever someone lives outside their speech Im kind, Im human, I am real I know what hurt people feel And if their God would burn that still Then maybe hell's more honest still So if their heaven hates my heart And tears soft souls like mine apart Then let their holy judgment start Religion made me hate myself But I was good from the start But I am kind, and I am true I've lived through hell and made it through If love like mine, they still undo Then hell will have to make me room
This is about how I like the same gender, but the bible says it's bad. Also, how I would struggle with depression, and how the bible says if I try to hurt or **** myself, I will go to hell. I have accepted who I am, God has not accepted who I am, but the devil has, even though I don't believe them; if they are real, the devil won't care.
