Response to the Poetry at The Dream

"Of these three displays, I was the most impacted by the poetry read, quite honestly being alarmed at the first set of poems read. They feature the anguished words of three minority students, two who were members of a racial minority and one who was a homosexual individual. I found the latter to be the most insightful and convicting. In the poem the student expressed resentment toward the body of Christ for pushing him or her away due to their sexual orientation, all the while belittling the struggle they deal with. I have never heard such a real account of someone who is burdened with this temptation and the great difficulty they face in trying to overcome it."
