3, 2, 1 TAG YOU'RE IT!
I remember hearing on the playground at the age of nine
Lord only knows how much I dreaded this game
The boy next to me tagged the other girl to his left
She is it.
The kids repelled from her as if she was contagious
but it did not matter because
she was it.
Back to me.
I

A chain ended
At daggers drawn with no discharge in animosity
Berated and mocked regardless of my actions or intentions
Cant take much more, hell I'm 27
"Dont take it mate", bite that bullet
Everything i hoped, friendship, closeness
Fond memories few and far between
Granted, i was not abused or physically neglected
Had it all, school trips, gadgets, want for

Ostracized by Nuns
will to be diff’rent
fractals with cursive curlicues
cream-colored overalls
ostracized by nuns
and formal catechisms
with habitual fashion sense
now I’m in control
spinning like a pinwheel
with poetic enunciation
showed them, showed them all
i could take off my uniform
it’s monotone gray

Leaving her to think somebody flubbed

Ostracized Not Secularized
There was a man who was thought to be numb,
Some even said he was dumb,
But he tried to live a good life,
Married a wonderful wife,
And all his critics were bummed.
His friends were pretty sparse,
They'd rather he be a farce,
It's lonely to live in Truth of course,
One must be as strong as a horse,
...Much easier to

Ostracized In, Victorious Out
I was, am,
be, being,
And been
Ostracized.
Many have
Allowed Satan
To use them
As vehicles
To do me harm.
But I'm glad
To say today
And all days
And ways
I was, am,
be, being,
And been
Protected
By ths shed
blood of the
Precious Lamb
Of God.
What has
Happened
And what
god has done,
doing, and do
For me
He'll do, is doing,
Has done
The same.
You will to be
ostracized
and look defeated
in some eyes
but the truth
beyond those
Lies is the love
