August 1

The Origin of Me

Spawned and spewed in infancy

From birth to now, in mock decency

Brought forth into this world

In a room filled with song and hymn

To a family of religious conformity

False gods called the One

Raised to blend, behave and be

Meek and mild and never wild

I followed slow and patiently

Made myself what they should see

Never released the pent emotions

Save through poem and prose

And dark night dreams

Grew to hate the lie

They made me be

Rebelled at last

Thank god I am free

Follow now the god in me

For all I am Blessed be
