Two WorldsA Poem by Karissa A. KellyThe formation of my self, my image and my identity has been an uphill battle. Pushing back against what is widely accepted is the reason I am who I am and how I view the world as put in my art.One for the rest One all my own Crafted by wrest Turmoil, the inside never known. Burnt in the heart in my chest Formation in the marrow of bone Defiant of the behest Orders from the wonted throne. What’s mine, It will detest The world ruled by quotidian moan Measures of prevention put, lest Deviation interrupt the perpetual drone. See it in how I’m dressed Hear it in my voice’s tone Others’ comfort I congest By an expression of stone. Ne’er will I divest The labored fabric I’ve sown My self stands time’s test I remain to stand alone. © 2020 Karissa A. Kelly |
