Creature Poem by Kaity Desrosiers

Finally, I realized
This world I'm living in.
With hate, and
Self-destruction.
Never thought I would be
Addressed with such disrespect,
Such hatred.
I followed my road.
A road of the less taken.
Only to come to a glitch.
The sign never told me to stop,
As I tripped at this road block.
Yes, a road block.
My mind racin'.
They've discovered my journey.
A glitch in my mind, there disgracin'.
Whispers of threats,
Is what I'm hearin'.
I've been found.
They know of my mind, and
They know it's racin'.
To them I'm a joke.
As for me, I thought they loved,
Cared, and honored me.
Regardless, of my glitch,
My road block,
My mind racin'.
I've been discovered, and
Now they're hatin'.
Yes, I'm hurting, and
there gawking.
Sayin',
What a deficit,
A reject,
A regret.
I have been discovered!
And while they chose to cackle.
I chose!
To follow this road.
My road less taken.
Although my mind is racin'.
I'm facin'
My own direction.
I picked up this Creature,
Called love.
And I chose!
I chose my road.
A road less taken.
