Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I won't be blessed by you

because I'm already blessed

with the free will to know

that there a better things to do with my time

than try to be perfect for you, Father.

I was delivered from evil after a gestation period of 23 years,

I came out and found myself far from the likes of you.

I won't be accepted by you

because you don't have that power.

You are the man behind the curtain and you say "times are different"

and "I don't care if you're gay."

I am the tin man looking for his heart because

you wanted my joy to be my shame.

you wanted my trauma to be my shame.

But I do have a heart!

And courage. And I have a brain!

I've had them all along!

I even have a home which is inside my heart

Overflowing with love.

Like yours, like mine.

Now if you don't see my heart that's fine,

maybe you will with time.

Perhaps you will never know, but If you care to find me,

I'll be somewhere over the rainbow.
