Calling me sin – v6

I don’t really care

it doesn’t help me

the pain remains

from their words

their harsh judgment

They could dip it in chocolate

add bright sprinkles

call it what every you like

the expression no comfort

to me, to my ears

“Love the sinner, hate the sin.”

is calling me sin

Your judgment upon me

your words cutting

into my flesh.

However you package it

you could sugar-coat it

the harm remains

I am who I am

whatever the name.
