Notes About The Poem

For Silentg One's Contgest " Deviants And Divine", Dated August 5, 2026

Aberrant Identity Frame


On my own terms my singular life I walk brave,
setting the course on the parted pathway I pave.
Nameless probing people uncalled, I descry
break the fence of protected privacy and pry,
ask incisive questions to slice my persona they try.
I don’t reply.

Their footprints I follow, they want with pride,
abandoning me for what I am on the wayside,
to exist as a mute formless entity dormant.
Caustic comments they make of me being adamant,
my character traits make on them negative impact.
I don’t react.

In my heart sunk in the quicksand of time weary,
emotions struggle to rise from the unfeeling debris.
The good done to me I can’t acknowledge loud,
but buds of their love bloom in me, I keep under shroud.
Porous sensitivity absorbs all the feelings inarticulate,
I don’t demonstrate. 

I will do what I do at free will until I finally sleep, 
even if you all call me a deviant black sheep,
for life for me isn’t to fit in your measurement. 
I would be me intransigent.

Amidst the trying tumult of turbulent life,  
the alchemic anchor of serenity in strife 
prevents me from being swept away far
by the coercive currents of compulsive air, 
enabling me to approach life challenges crude 
with composed and collected altered attitude. 

I discover the reserve of innate strength strong,
sheltering me when storms in odd life prolong.  
I build the castle that harbors discernment option, 
appreciating the aberrant thought perception, 
constructing an atypical identity framework, I sense
define the deviant me with design of divine essence.
