Caught

I intend to be distant for as long as possible. Because if I get too close I will be captured. By the ones I love. They say I am in crisis. As they approach. But they are in more distress than me it seems. As I feel fine. They say I should be embarrassed. They say I am a living shame. When the real shame is how I’ve been treated. As an outcast. As a criminal. I have committed- No. I have been committed. As they have decided on my fate in unison. That my passion is final.
