WHY ME MAMA

Mama -- why me Mama?
Please don't turn away.
I need to know -- why me?
Ask your God to remove my unmentionable shame.
He doesn't respond to my plea,
Asked in His son's name.

In limbo -- I'm a renegade -- hiding in the shade.
I try so hard to do what is right.
I fight with all my might.
I push sinful thoughts away.
I get down on my knees,
I shut my eyes tight and pray.

You told me that my body would change.
You told me of one -- but that feels strange.
I'm frightened of the other touch,
That doesn't feel wrong.
The like force is strong,
On which side do I belong?
To you -- I've never lied,
I've met someone.
Your love is about to be tested -- tried.
I'm stepping into the light of the sun.
At last -- my journey has begun
You've always given me answers -- help me now
I don't know what to do
Please don't turn away -- I need you.

Hello. Please don't hang up.
Too many years have passed
Without hearing your voice.
Yes -- I know it was my choice,
But not really

Live a lie -- live alone
Live me -- or not live at all.

I don't know why I called
Neither of us can change
Goodbye -- I ...

Love you.

NOTE: Because I didn't have anyone to talk to about my situation, I did scenarios for what could be the outcome if I told my Mom. I've never had a big coming out thing. --

NOTICE BOARD

Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....

Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello. I don't put up my email address because I already get mail from people trying to sell me Viagra which goes straight to the Junk box. :) I do receive notification when someone has made a comment at SPT and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for visiting. -S

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
