What May Be
Letting distraction help me breathe!
Denying the truth is the life I fuse.
Ignoring the scars that are left from abuse!
Sitting in misery is all I know.
Tied to the heartache that continues to grow!
Ready for change yet not ready to leave.
Always searching for a way to believe!
Choosing to suffer in pain and agony.
Trusting no one not even me!
Imagining someday I might find peace.
Only then will I feel release!
No more suffering, no more pain, happiness is what I will gain!

The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
