On the Leaving

I am the peopleOn the Leaving

the people are me.

My individuality is blurred

into a still hating

still loving

society.

My ideas have become

from my own worthy innards

but they were lost & torn apart

when others

with no insight

no foresight

and little human compassion

saw them

and decided with combined minds

that I was evil.

 

They couldn’t comprehend

or see the form of my thoughts.

What man cannot comprehend

becomes monstrous in minds.

So I was born a monster.

 

Forbidden to feel.

Forbidden to touch.

Living in shadows

you become the monster.

The despised I have become.

 

and left quietly from the light

kept myself and my ideas in shadow.
