My Choice

My Choice

They like to tell me it's a choice
to be marginalized, judged and condemned
to be different, not to belong
to be outcast and ridiculed

They like to tell me it's not possible
to be a freak but believe in God
ironic that he made me,
so I know I am not a freak
I am just another variation in His Awesome Scheme

They like to tell me I can change
not because they give a damn for my soul
but because of how it resounds in themselves
it's not even about me, you see,
but about them

They like to quote lines from famous books
But they never seem to quote this one:
"Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes"
but this is hard to do in your comfort zone

They like to tell me so many things
so here are the choices I have made:
I choose to be white
I choose to be male
I choose to be blond
I choose to be true
I choose to be Gay
