You pushed me from my home, The moment you mentioned sanctity, That I‘d be dirtying something, If I touched it, I’d be ruining it for everyone else, If I took part, But what is sanctity anyway? Am I capable of being god’s child? Must I strip back layers of my love first? But can I love god, If I cannot love myself? Can I love myself, If I am not myself? I can’t help but love. And I’d quite like to get married, And maybe to have my first dance to Elvis, And to throw the bouquet, And to hear the words:      “You may now kiss!” Does that sound unclean to you? I want to honeymoon, somewhere in Italy, I want us to cook dinner for one another. Is that impure? I want to have and to hold in sickness and in health till death do us part. Is that ******* ***** Does it make you sick? The moment this country said no, You are not love, You want, To **** Love. Even when other people were saying, We understand you, you are good, you are clean, You are love. This stopped being my home, You tore the ground from under me, in the name of “sanctity”, I’d love to stop being angry about it, I would love to, But my policy has not changed my policy has not changed my policy has not changed, My policy will not change, And that is all you and I will ever have in common.

My home is no longer my home (Elegy to Northern Ireland)
Equality Has to be served Gifted 'Cause it is deserved. America is a place To express The emotions you face.

Freedom
You're so greedy They said Pick a side They said You're such a **** They said Their words like knives My blood spilling freely like insults from their mouths I can't choose I'll never choose To choose would be to lose half of myself All I want is to love freely How can you hate my for that? How can you cut me with your words and expect me to heal? Nothing is wrong with me Nothing is wrong with me except the deep cuts your words leave on my heart I can't stop the bleeding; The only way to stop it is to choose a side, but that would leave an even deeper scar But those knives were not aimed for me No they were aimed for the word above my head What I call myself My own label Bisexual I'm just the person below the word My body taking the hits Bruised and bleeding tears of frustration and sadness The knives will not stop Make them stop Before my blood runs drier than the sand in the hourglass that is the only one that knows how much longer I can take the pain Make them stop, before it's too late
