The Drain of Innocence
Written from the view point of a child with homosexual parents, based on a short film I saw recently.
Now I lay me down to sleep
and ask whom ever hears this prayer
my weary soul to keep
I don’t know what I should believe
with out proof can anyone
I always thought love leaned more
towards right than towards whats wrong
but I learned differently
from how people pick on me
and talk about my moms
I pretend that I don’t hear them
and sing my favorite song
I used to sing "Jesus Loves Me"
when I thought "no one else does"
but the people say he hates people like me and my moms
and I fear for the future, I sincerely do
what if I make the same mistakes
one day they’ll hate me too
so I ask if you are real
despite what I think or how I feel
lead me on a narrow path
not into my own belief
help me lead the life the world has laid out for me
I just want to be happy, but never mind that
just do this solid for me,
Amen

In the video this child was so young and already she was beginning to neglect who she was to be what everyone else wants her to be. It was heart breaking.
