Poem Title:
Poem
I danced my way into this world on the tip of my toes. Gentle, silent, a ghostly presence And yet you shoved me into a glass bottle and pushed me down a hill. The bottle rolled and rolled and with every stone it met it cracked And cracked and cracked and through the cracks I watched the misconstrued shadow of a person faintly reminding of me. But how many cracks can the glass take ......I broke free I shouted and screamed to scare the shadows away but my voice sounded like a long forgotten dream. I was silenced by thousand of years of prejudice and ignorance. You close your eyes at the sight of me and in my face you see a scary little being but who is the ugly troll here my friend... definitely not me Who is the one to point at me and tell me I am no true not allowed to feel or breathe or love and cry and laugh it's cruel. You know... I've counted all the cracks on the glass, they were seven wounds. And each one bled and ache but at that point I knew. What I had to do is say no to all of you. Then I decided I liked the sound of blue... oh wait...blue is not a sound or says who who is it really that makes the rules For you I might be a freak... oh...what a fool. Time to wake up, rub your eyes and don't you blink the earth is round but flat is all you see. People are round and square and all the shapes you thought they can never be. Until you do it's clear to me. To grow I should keep the fight. But since it's late at night I'll close my eyes and sleep... Under the endless sky.
