Looking Beyond The Pale

Looking Beyond The Pale

A Poem by therisa
"

just a minor rant.

"
Ugh
How I hate
The world's OCD reaction
To anything different.
 
Wanting to put
Everything
Into neat little boxes
Even if
It doesn't fit.
 
Hello
Life isn't
Just black and white
Rather
Various shades of gray.
 
Offering a diversity
To be embraced
With welcoming arms
By everyone.
 
And yet
It isn't
Which I know
From personal experience
Being disabled
And transgendered.
 
How people look
At a person
Like myself
As they back away.
 
Scared
I'm diseased
Or worse.
