Maybe that’s why it hurts so much
Almost a shock
Before, when you were younger
They spoke of His love
unconditional
Explained he was a comforting omnipresence
And you bought it
Sold your soul to save it
They change their tune so quickly
Suddenly He is full of anger
Ever-present glaring eyes
All because of who you are
There is no love for someone like you
They make it clear quickly
And you’re left
Struggling to break your own beliefs
Feeling blindsided and stupid
Because this religion they used to promise acceptance
Doesn’t offer that to you
But you didn’t realize until too late
Now you can’t match your faith with yourself
Leaving you a disappointment to everyone
Even the one they promised would be different
