Is it ok if I just talk to you in lemans’ terms and use the words that I use everyday?
Must I think of all of those profound but complicated expressions when I sit down to pray?
Is it truth that I must close my eyes and that my head must be bowed in order for you to give me your attention on any given day?
Do I have to attend church services, belong to the choir and be one of the deacons for you to know that I am okay?
Must I read the Word on a daily basis and recite the verses verbatim for you to stay in the depths of my heart?
Wasn’t our relationship exempt from separation at the very start?
According to you must I dress a certain way and cover up the skin I am in?
Should I change my tone and modify my speech in order for your love to be within?
Is it fair that they say I can only love the one whom is opposite of me; that I cannot make love without experiencing matrimony?
Does all of this need to occur before you can shine your light on me?
Must I face east; confess 3 times a day and jump up and down when I praise for you to recognize that I love you the same?
They say that I must go through someone else to get to you; that I am not pure enough, not wise enough and that I must die first.
Is that true?
Is that what I must do for my soul to be soothed?
Do I live by their protocols, go by their guidelines and follow their rules in order for your love to flow within me?
Can’t I thrive in Your consciousness, change my name to I am and function in Your resourceful power in order to understand?
Can’t I remind them that I was made in Your image and that I am the author, the director, and the writer of this screenplay?
Can’t I exist in the wish fulfilled, create my own days, manifest my dreams and make my own realities; must I partake in their disillusioned misery?
Can’t I just be…Me?
