#shun
"the" truth...is not "the" truth.
It's your truth.
Some people will subscribe to your truth.
Others will shun it.
But it's yours.
And no one can take that from you.
So own it.

Why don't they let us express ourselves?
Is it because it's inappropriate?
The norm of society thinks so
And what is normal anyway?
We want to be ourselves
But if we do, they will shun us away
We need to find a place where we belong
Let's go to a place, where we can be free.

All the flowers in his pocket and
Bruises covering his knees
Couldn’t hide the satisfaction
Decorating his chubby little face.
Every surface inch on his
Favorite pair of jeans was unprotected from
Grass stains and dirt cakes. Oh,
How our father would tear
Into him later. It was worth it when the
Junior high school quarterback
Kindly accepted his confession instead of
Laughing like the adults surrounding the pair.
Mom thought it was cute how the little oblivious
Nine-year-old boy had gotten down on
One knee, arms outstretched, as if he were
Proposing to his babysitter. They joke when it’s a child, but
Quickly shun their once loved ones by forcing them to
Run away from home. It wasn’t funny when our
Sister vanished from existence after coming out
To our religious family. They don’t laugh at
Us when we mutter her name. That girl,
Valerie, left all but one shred of existential evidence
When leaving us for good. Hidden amongst the trees are
Xylographed initials made by lovers over
Yonder in the suburb parks where the human
Zoo couldn’t keep them under watchful eyes.

What hath I done to earn such disdain?
Thust'ly I'd treated thee with an utmost courtesy,
And yet,
I'd call this breath of redundant utterances,
A practice of utter futility.
The breadth of my wonderment at the crushing silence graced upon my disbelieving ears,
I stand fast as the imperceptible stones are cast upon my fragile soundings,
Your callousness resounds and rebounds within my vacant battleground.
Occupied by none other,
Confined within my ceaseless, if imperfect, selflessness,
I am merely a soul.
Cast upon, or down'pon the mercifully unforgiving earth.
Borne brazenly to those who are willing to listen,
At the risk of those who won't.
Thrust'd herein I lye,
Gazing 'pon the relentless, endless skies.
I am merely a man,
Searching for a home.
I am merely the mind within which I reside,
I am,
Merely,
Who I am.

Introduction attraction flirtation speculation deliberation emotion preoccupation acceleration.
The ultimate seduction.
Beautification celebration confirmation negotiation consummation affection sensation adoration.
Such sweet glorification.
Exploration temptation reflection frustration deception obligation alienation rejection.
The anguish of separation.
Desolation ramification medication intoxication addiction acceleration degradation consultation.
The mind-bending revelation.
Renunciation purification meditation relaxation liberation restoration satisfaction manifestation.
Oh, glorious motivation.
But really, they’re everywhere and always -
Those damnable phonemes.

Even musculação.
But finally, hopefully, there's Felicitação!
