It is okay to love
It is okay to love
When I was a kid my parents told me about Santa
They told me about the Tooth Fairy
They told me about the Easter Bunny
They told me about God
I went to church because it was customary,
I learned what was written in stone
To be written in my head like ancient carvings in a cave
And I thought this is normal.
But when I was old enough to think on my own
I saw two guys holding hands
And this had two be wrong
And I thought I was right to think that
Because the preacher preached to me
And society speaked to me
That this was NOT normal
And that I am RIGHT to judge them
But I was wrong
How could they be happy if people like me
Tell them their happiness is not normal?
Who am I to tell them they cannot love.
Who is anyone?
And today the “higher powers” tell us what is right
But what is right?
Beliefs aren’t beliefs if they are etched into your brain
And the thoughts that you think are not yours to begin
And these beliefs that are handed down are the reason for pain
But we do NOT have to believe these beliefs once again
Ask yourself
Who am I
To judge those
who are
happy?
Where is it written that love is a sin?
From what book did this all begin,
Through lessons and pages our children learn hate
For those who are different
For those who aren’t “straight”
A simple message can be taught
To end the hateful remarks
Of guys who like guys
And girls who like girls
And that is
It is okay to love
And this is me saying that
I will not judge happiness
And THIS is my normal
