Crossroads of Destiny

Limelight

Fitting in was never an issue
for a human taught to survive,
through differences of all kind
by showing only a certain side,
to groups of certain species
so he didn't have to fight,
his way to have some limelight
at least not physical for the time,
being as he worked his way up
and his efforts sufficed just right,
yet what he couldn't get through
was the way to his own mind.

Unable to differentiate the groups
he had fitted in not long ago,
couldn't provide the names when asked
to get through his own mind's door,
to him what was different felt
the same to his other folks,
strangers or family none seemed amiss
to the human who tried to undo,
the lock made upon the door to his mind
to which he couldn't get through.
