Okay, just please, shut up, I've been aware
Don't say you'll pray for me, leave it alone
Put down your bible, and please stop your stare.
Don't preach-I want to reap what I have sown.

Maybe to you I am satan himself
I'm sorry to you that you can't find love
You might if you looked beyond your bookshelf
An olive leaf to you without a dove

I will not hide myself away for you
I will do as I like, whether it please
And look her in the eye and say "I do"
I'm not going to hell, so be at ease

I'm gay and I am used to much despise
But to you, mother, please don't shield your eyes

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
