Taboo

I am the taboo
I crossed the line carved in stone
I am an unpardonable sin
My mind, my emotion, my will
They are all evil
I can't share what I feel
I will be banned
I cannot go to woman
I cannot go to man
No, I cannot even go to God
I crawl into myself
I pretend it's not there
You are supposed to be the good people.
You are supposed to care.
"They will know you are my disciples
by your love."
Your love
Love is an action
Love is forgiving
Love is opening your arms to my hurt
I know I am wrong
I want your help
Don't just accept my pain
Tell me the truth
but don't sacrifice my bleeding soul
on the alter of righteousness,
godliness
piety.
If you want to be godly, love
God is love
God is truth
Find the blend between the two
Until I see this in you
I will fade into the night
I will silently slip into non-existent cracks
Realize I'm here and love me
I you don't learn how to love
you will break this family apart
We will all become islands
Separated by the ocean of fear.
Dare to open your eyes
Dare to cross the line and believe
Dare to reach out to the taboo
Dare to love
Don't send me away
Don't give me a plastic smile
and pat answers
Don't tell me you'll pray for me
if all you're going to pray is for God's judgement on me.
Don't shake your head at me
when you think I'm not looking
Hold my hand
Cry my tears
Go with me into the presence of God.
I am scared
I am hurting
I need your love
Learn to love the taboo
Learn to love the sinner
and yet hate the sin
Learn it
Live it
Practice it
in word
action
and soul
Love me
That's all I ask
Simply love me
Love the unlovable
Christ would and did
He loved you


Romans 5:7-8 "Very rarely will anyone die for a good man, though for a very righteous man someon might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
