I am abhorrent.
I go against your values.
I am the old and new offence
Punishable by death.
I am secret,
The wolf in sheep's skin.
I am the cry in the night
And the question you never needed to ask.
I am an insult.
I am the glance you give me.
I am cast as weird, weak - and
God forbid you steep to my level.
I am human.
I am a loving smile.
I am a heart that loves with entirety, and
I am rarely played about.
I am thoughts and feelings, like you.
I am different in more ways than one.
But I am me, and safe in that notion,
And - at last - I am happy.
