I was wrong all along, confused,
puzzled, embarrassed,
and lost in a way.
All the things they’ve said to me
withered within my skeleton,
then howled in my skull
to mess me up again.
But You let me be, sunk into the massive
void expanding into my night and day,
to see what I had to gradually
see down there.
I let others be what they are, without feeling
abashed or stirred up about the potential
they can do with their powers
– what I can’t.
I no longer want to (but will I?) crave
to be different, crave to differ
from my own self,
that is who I am.
