what if i’m not

am i me if i’m not?

not what is wanted, craved for & needed?

an exception, a footnote, a bridge incomplete but i’m not.

your consideration & rude contemplation, a strike on my body please spare all your reasons

you watch & you strain for you don’t understand, can’t possibly fathom the illness i have.

the illness of brain, of pain & of rot. subconscious trauma i have but i’m not.

not someone weak, not someone petty. not someone jaded who stands at the ready to tell you you’re wrong that you’re mean and you’re cruel. i know you mean better, & you know it too.

look at me plainly i know that you’ll see.

i’m not a monster, i’ve always been me
