"weird" is finally a compliment to me now
“You’re s o w e i r d.”
What was once an iron fist-punch to the gut
to the shy kid who felt far too much
is now a cause for celebration,
conjuring the childlike elation
that I thought was lost to
the litany of literary and literal jabs
of my rocky past.
Spectral, eldritch, elysian,
peculiar, eccentric, alien…
all snugly housed in each hemisphere of my mind,
conjoined tendrils seaming them together,
no longer hidden, forbidden, or to be rewritten.
Hell, I’m smitten with strange
and my magickal ways
and not acting my age.
I’ve grown into a changeling adult;
I’ve always been fae (or "faerei" as my best friend likes to say). 🧚
So, call me Weird. Please.
Anything but n o r m a l…
