Enough to be different....

They told me and I listened….

I listened to my church.

I listened to the laws of the land.

I listened to “good” people that “loved” me.

So much pain and grief I have felt because they told me what was good and bad….

I believed them and I quit looking for who I was.  It was never right…it never made sense and every time I mentioned it, I was told I was wrong.

No one can tell me who I should be any more…I no longer give permission for anyone to condemn me for choosing a different path and I give myself permission to quit acting like I want or need your approval.

I am not a Christian 

the only doctrine I follow is love.

The laws are not always right,

people that break them and walk free every day.  

I will only defend love.

Good people, the loudest ones, 

chose what is best for them, 

they want me to be more like them.

I love myself enough to be different.
