Island

I think that 
one of the 
heaviest burdens to 
bear for myself 
is the acceptance 
that I don’t 
fit in anywhere 
I have been 
lugging around that
reality since I 
was a child 
and oh I 
am so tired 
of moving it
from one place 
to another from 
one group to 
another that now
at long last 
I have finally 
understood its purpose 
it’s not a 
reality upon which 
to drag but 
one upon which 
to sit and 
wonder and think 
and to write 
and be loved
