The Rainbow Within

Poem of a Bisexual in a Christian Home

Something inside me,

That makes them hurt and despise me,

A little color,

That I must keep undercover,

If they were told,

The feelings I hold,

I would lose them forever

No happiness or hope,

I have a rainbow,

Small splashes of color,

Only I can know,

For if they discover,

The feelings inside me,

The emotion within

The love I have for both men and women,

I loved a girl,

But kept that inside,

If they ever new,

I would then have to cry,

I am a woman,

A daughter,

A sister,

I am forever condemned by the holy scripture,

Am I a human,

Do I deserve friends,

Do I deserve happiness,

Or anything in the end,

Am I a child,

Going through a phase,

Or do I question this,

Because of my emotional daze,

What am I,

Who will love me,

A man or a woman,

Well one day we'll know,

Will I follow "God's will"

Or keep my rainbow,

My choice could make those I love stay friend...

Or turn foe,
