Complicated Intersection
Build me up from the bottom,
I was wholly rotten,
From the inside to out,
So blatantly incorrect.
"Just an unfortunate mistake."
Least I've got love,
Least I've got heart,
Least I've got a roof,
Least I've got food.
What if it's not enough?
Oh, I suppose it's not enough.
"Rotten monster
Selfish creature"
I wanna see the stars.
It's just so much to ask.
The world doesn't work well for me.
Deaf
Trans
ASD
ADHD
Queer
I work for the world but inefficiently.
Constantly crying and breaking down.
"Pitiful adult
Absolute burden"
It goes on and on.
This intersectional conundrum.
It's me. I'm the problem.
I can see where I'm worth.
So It's not me that's a problem.
It's the world that has no step stool.
The people like me know what I mean.
Praying despite disbelieving.
Lord how could I work through this?
Might as well.
Or no.
What if it's not enough?
Oh, I suppose it's not enough.
Never enough.
