Day Thirteen
They sent me away
I asked myself what was wrong
A gay daughter in need
I only wanted to feel love
Day thirteen of rehab
I’m diseased
This sickness is a disgrace
I’m the dirtiest filth there is
Our sins will be forgotten
I never got the chance to sin
Once we become right again
Everything I am is wrong
Choose to stop lying
I wish I could go back
And playing this game
I don’t deserve to live
God, he could love us
Forgive all our sins
Gay can’t be forgiven
Seventeen years as a Christian
My prayers were poison
It doesn’t count when you’re a fag
I was hurting God
Heterosexuals are true Christians
I never really believed in God
It’s a shame to your family
I’m causing them pain
Abusing their love
I deserve to be alone
We’ll
love
you forever
Forever was last week
You’re our little angel
Forever was over
My soul’s kept the film
Constantly reeling
Recalls the bible glaring
Judging from the coffee table
With its defiant stare
Quietly, but surely
Questioning my loyalty
Silence leaving me alone
frightened and alone
My only companion: the rough leather
Occupying my hands
Interrupted by the choked, piercing bullet:
How could this be?!
It’s just who I am
We raised you just right
And I’m still the same person
By the book, in fact
I drowned in shame
I just… don’t understand
What is there to get?
You need to be fixed
I was damaged goods
Why is this happening to us?
Why are they doing this to me?
Today you can change
I’ve heard this before
Today you can be straight
I wasn’t yesterday
Love yourself enough to stop lying
I hate myself more than before
You can be loved again
I am alone and isolated
You can go home
I will be loved when I lie
We only want to help you
Destroy this film
Forget this scene
Erase this movie
I only want to die
