I Am

I am… Questionably nothing. My eyes search for something. But always come back empty-handed. I feel… Stuck in a nightmare. My mind wraps around horrors of my own creation. Unexplored areas have come out of the shadows to make horrors more prominent. I think… I am what I am not. Confusion seeks refugee in my mind tonight. It overwhelms my every crevice until it reigns completely supreme. I see… Inside my own mind. Yet I cannot look into the real world. All I see are images too gray to be from reality. I can never be… Anything acceptable in society. I will always be something that lifts negative thoughts. I can never be normal; I can never be anything but a fish out of water. I am… a freak.

You're not a freak, Gwen. We all spend a great deal of time in introspection, absorbed by our own fears and nightmares. Excellent poem! Congratulations on your win. Have a Merry Christmas. Love, Carolyn
