Some would shun me and have,
For my lifestyle choice.
To love another woman is taboo
In the eyes of many, if not most.
But are their judgements valid
When they just don't know,
Don't understand, or even care to try?
They pass judgment with their eyes,
Heart closed, mind set in their ways.
Always following what society deems right,
Listening to the church, friends, and family,
But never searching within themselves.
If they did look inside, what would they find?
If they stopped listening to everyone else,
And began listening to their own hearts,
How much would their thoughts and ideas change?
Before you judge me - try walking in my shoes...
I've known love with a man,
But not unconditional, non - judgmental love
I've only found true love and true passion
In the arms and heart of another woman.
Only with a woman have I found respect,
Honesty, dignity, and a generous spirit.
With a man it was always give and take,
A constant power struggle
Using force and strength to take
And me always giving
Yet with a woman, it has always been
Sharing, equality, and gentleness beyond words
Just as much pleasure in the giving
As in the receiving, if not more.
I've known good men in my life
But none have ever touched me
Emotionally, spiritually, and physically
The way another woman has.
I've made my choice from experience,
From following my heart
Listening to it alone
And knowing that I've found my soul mate-
Even if society says it can't be right.
I've walked both paths
Experienced both sides of the road,
Have you?
Don't judge me for what you don't understand
Don't say I am wrong or evil
When you yourself have only walked one path
Lived and Loved in only one way
Atleast meet me half way
With one simple idea
That what may be good for you
May not be good for me
And what may be good for me
May not be good for you
But neither way is wrong,
As long as there is love.
