My First Post
by DnJ

The wise words of others
I’ve silently read
To quell the narrative
Playing within my head

Such wisdom is here
I eagerly learn
Wonder if confidence will come
Will it ever be my turn

For I would love to post
Having such a desire
To write my beliefs
And that to which I aspire

But the world it seems
Does not with me align
My values and faith
Appear singularly mine

Family and friends
Offer advice not to prolong
They see me hurting
And would have me move on

Yet here on the board
I feel connected
Hopeful to be understood
From others similarly rejected

I’ve read so many stories
About standing during MLC
Healing and forgiveness
Oh God I want that for me

I want to be accepted
Not silently lurk as a ghost
I am so scared and so worried
As I publish my first post.

Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
