Thorny Poetry - 24. No Wonder

no wonder they berate me me

when this is who i am

no wonder they taunted me

when that was how i was

 

then my voice was silent

now my voice is far too loud

crying

 

see me

don’t leave me

 

so maybe they are right and

i am exactly who they think I am

and i do all of this to be

special

 

maybe they were right

and i am nothing but an

impostor

 

my cry for help

nothing but a

smokescreen

 

this word something i say because i

want to be a part of things

“genderqueer”

 

and now this will seem like

self-pity

maybe it is

 

my desire and need to relate and belong

alienates and pushes people away

the opposite of my

intention

 

so maybe they were always right

to taunt me

hurt me

beat me

 

because who wouldn’t

want to knock me down a peg or two

precocious brat who thought they knew it all

 

was that me?

is that me?

because if so

 

no wonder

No wonder, indeed. There are ever those who will use brutish nastiness to control what they cannot understand, or do not want to think about. How hard it is to have thought, wondered and tried to articulate that which we know about ourselves - only to be spat upon or ignored for it all.

 

But never wonder my friend, that there are also those who see and delight in the light that burns bright within you.

Thank you, Parker. That means a lot right now. I really appreciate you. :hug:
