I heard sobs, they echoed in my space
I didn't know where it came from but disrupted my peace
Sometimes I felt shocks.... like you feel when your Earth trembles
I was reassured my home was not in a very secure environment
Howsoever instead of all the troubles,
I felt secure
I felt comfort
I felt loved
I felt warmth
I felt accepted
I felt protected
I felt respected
I felt selected
I felt understood
I felt hopeful
I felt joys in all its glory
I felt sorrows, discomfort, and aches, as they too are part of my story
But most of all, I felt unjudged, free and pure
Then I came out into your world,
It was chaos.....
They conceived me with some preconceived guarantees
Among them, there was only one; who's odour I had known
Later some said she's gone and the "baby" has to survive alone
While the rest understood me according to their comfort zone
I lived with some who hardly understood my daily battles
Most of them were in my head, a place they dared to unravel
Hypothetical, imaginary and made-up, they labeled my troubles
Never approached patiently to understand me and my bubble
I met some when I was adult, as they termed
They called themselves "modern" I had no clue if that was just a fashion trend
I found none as sensible as I thought,
They found pleasure in mocking my flaws
Called me "crazy", "psycho" "insane",
I don't know if they lacked sanity or I never gained?
I never swore but called them "mates"
After all, they were future abusers, skilled so great
Your world has creatures, similar to my "mates"
And I wondered why I heard sobs and shocks back then
However, don’t stereotype, please…. I look as normal as everyone else
Only inhabiting a demon which forces me to overthink everything, unlike the rest
He's been in me since years now, extremely dull and with no power
But your world showered ME with ignorance, callousness, and hatred - the only ingredients he needed to empower!
