No Mistake Was Made In December

Blatant disrespect for those who amuse themselves at my differences.

Us as humans

live in fear

for the night ahead

for our death so near

 

and as we stumble

into our own wicked mind

what appalls us most

is what we find

 

am I too fat?

is my hair too long?

most people vent it out

to a bookshelf-hidden bong.

 

But if I die tomorrow

is this what I want to remember?

thinking I'm a mistake

that was born in the bleak of December?

 

Perhaps it is not I who has the problems

just your poorly mistaken eye

to me, I see no error

with my limit being the sky.

 

So if I differ from your beliefs,

and I am what I don't want to remember

I assure you my rotten friend,

there was no mistake made in December.

Author's Note

I was born on December 23rd, 2000, so while everyone thinks I'm a mistake, I assure them that there was no mistake made in December.

You are no mistake! Maybe they're just jealous that you were born with a beautiful face!

[Samuel Dickens]

No, I'm quite positive your birth was no mistake, and good for you for resisting such a foolish idea. A fine poem you've written.
