NO MAN’S LAND<\/p>\n
Somewhere between sinner and saint,
\nI reject the black and white brainwashing of religion.
\nThere’s too much grey to ignore, too much love withheld,
\nand too much judgement cast.<\/p>\n
I live between the fine line of being lost and found,
\nstumbling closer to the fence of hate with every right turn that was wrong,
\nevery wise decision that fell apart.
\nIn a fallen world, with infinite interpretations, a black and white world kills.<\/p>\n
Reaching towards the impossibility of love,
\nbetween knowing and seeing the unknown,
\nbeauty the biggest lie, and sealed with rejection’s kiss,
\nthat is where I exist.
\nIn a no man’s land of grey,
\nwhere I accept all people, though they do not accept me.<\/p>\n
