Dare
You dare to call me ignorant
When your time is simply spent
Deciphering what your God meant
In books that men invent.
You dare to tell me that you know
That I chose this life of woe;
That I’ll be sent to hell below
For letting my fear go.
You dare to tell me who I am;
That my love is just a sham;
That I am just a tainted lamb
That He will surely damn.
You dare say “abomination”
Praying for my salvation
You know nothing of creation;
Just vilification.
I am proud and now I am free
Don’t you ever dare tell me
The things that I should and must be
For you can’t even see
That hate is love and love is hate
Straight is gay and gay is straight;
I will not sit here, and debate
The lies that men create.
