Turmoil/Truth
To every kid who is questioning and
Who is trying to find who they are—
I feel you, my dude, and I know what it’s like
The confusion and tension and scars
I’ve been caught in the crossroads of female and male
It’s all way more complex than it seems
And it aches not to know what I am, or what’s right
And it’s hell to be torn, by all means
And besides, that is only a part of the story
Of what there’s to worry about
Are you gay—are you straight—are you pan—are you ace—
Are you dying to figure it out?
The internal division and turbulence grinds
As you silently weigh right and wrong
Are you scared that you won’t get the answer you want?
Or afraid it’s been true all along?
Yet amid all this mess and this turmoil, still
There is peace to be found deep within
Just stop listening to the flawed voice of the world
Your existence is never a sin
And God loves you no matter what answers you find
’Cause God loves every person God made
And this journey is so much more meaningful than
All the quick, easy answers you crave
So keep searching for truth and for pure, honest living
In time, you will find what you need
All the answers will come in the timing they choose
Truth will come and it will set you free
