My emotions
Pushing forth
Beyond the barriers
I have built.
Wondering
As I question myself
For thinking
This way.
Am I
Delusional?
In my challenging
The status quo
That society has
So rigidly imposed
On those
Who are different.
In my wanting
And needing
To fully embrace
This change.
On the physical
And spiritual level.
Knowing
By doing so
I have become
A leper.
For those people
Who fear
And avoid me.
To do otherwise
Would mean
Continuing living
My life
As a ghost.
Moving through life
Unable to connect
With people
On a meaningful level.
Beyond
Being seen
As a pale shade
Of myself.
Neither
Fully alive
Nor
Truly dead.
Sadly
My own answer
To this question.
Is a shrug
Of my shoulders
And a frustrated sigh
As I move on.

Author's note: Not exactly sure, why I wrote this, beyond this driving need, to do so. In having done so, I do feel, a tad lighter physically and spiritually. Either way, this probably, my most spiritual poem, in a long time.
