Behind The Curtain
Location
Behind the curtain
In the closet
Wherever I am
I am here because of you
Every loud remark you make
Not realizing you were comdemning your own daughter
The way hate slides off your lips so easily
The harsh words of your animosity falling down on top of me
Covering me in a blanket of words I cannot escape
Slicing through my skin like daggars reaching for my soul
Resentment is not the only thing that falls from your mouth
Do not tell me you are Christ like when I know you persecute those around you
I am hidden
Too scared to show you who I am for fear of forced eviction
You talk about how your God is just
But my God loves us enough for the vacancy of yours
I am reminded every day that I am a failure
A misguided youth
Confused
Angry
I have never been happier than I am now
I have accepted myself
Your turn
Your turn to open your eyes and see who your daughter truley is
Your turn to step off your soap box and listen to me
Your turn to stop thinking that just because you attend church four times a month
That gives you the right to condemn me to hell
I am a whole
Stuck together with glue
Each being a word of a loving ally
but
My bond is no longer strong enough
Your words like a cannon breaking me at my weakest point
Expertly executed attacks
Although unintentional it leaves a hole
Burning me from the inside out
When did your teaching of unconditional love
Turn into teachings of unconditioal hate
