Subtitle: They call my people evil; I turn the mirror around, let it shatter by their hardened hearts.
I grew up religious,
But I do not like religion.
I do not specifically like Christianity.
This religion claims to “love everyone,” yet when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ community,..?
Hearts go cold.
Mouths gain the talent of saying extremely hurtful words.
Isn’t that a contradiction of the Bible telling believers to “love one another” John 13:34
and the verse James 1:26: “Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.”
Every Sunday,
I knelt in pews.
My heart is stinging with fear.
Fear of God not being able to remove this illness I have—
The one that makes me gaze at a girl differently,
My eyes light up once my girl’s notification pops up.
My true smile.
Not the masking one to get people off my back.
If this love is a sin,
Then let it empower me to sin freely.
Let fire burn my skin.
Let the perfume of burning flesh awaken my ungiving spirit.
Let screams rip through the air—
It’s no different from when I was alive on Earth.
Boiling with the fear of suffering from the illness of being different.
Love was the law,
and religion was taught.
And yet—
love between souls…
It was never enough.
