MY DIVERGENCE (POEM)

I have a divergent mind

That should sum it up right?

Who you think I'm

But it doesn't

Not even a fraction of it

It just means I feel deeply

And so I have to know my halts

For spiraling can be constant

My space is my stand

Just so your world won't engulf mine

My big is nothing to y'all

But I'm learning to live with that

You won't hear "are you okay" from me

But I will cook for you every night

I will remember what you wore the first time we met

I will walk in your shoes, as mine collects dust

I will never walk away first, but once I do it's forever

Heartless you say? No, It's survival

For I see worlds you will never see

And If I don't let go, they shall collide

I'm not sorry

Your typical was a language I loved to learn

But my writing was never what I had to sit in a class for

It's my advocacy and compass

A place to make it all about me for once

For my head can't allow it

As my mornings are filled with my worries for others.

To know that my middle ground is your far end

My perimeters seem like walls to y'all

I'm at my last straw

For who I'm, you sum it up in a diagnosis

And so my loud and clear is in these words

But even that you won't be able to see it.
