Tawananyasha Rambanapasi Poem
You will never fit in! is my everyday alarm .
My emotions so hackneyed to that venom
That like water off a duck's back has no effect.
Hide away they tell me, because we cannot bare to look at you
The dark has become my companion, the citadel of refuge to whom I can always flee so that I'm invisible to many.
Wherever I am, I try so much to be the ghost,
Unnoticed and invisible.
Because if I am noticed I know that like a thousand arrows the words will stab me to death
Before I realise it.
They say I love the mirror
but that is not the case
I am trying to identify, to spot,
To analyze what you say is wrong with me.
What you tease me of!
But sadly I cannot seem to find it
I shall not cease to look in the mirror
Maybe one day I shall see it too
But for now I AM BEAUTIFUL THE WAY I AM.

Tawananyasha Rambanapasi Poem
Father, you say there will be good times and bad times
But why does this all seem unfair?
How many more sleepless nights?
How many more hungry nights?
How many more cold nights?
Do I have to endure before the leaf finally turns.
Father I have laughed at the impossible.
I have normalized the abnormal
Thinking that soon it will all come back
But still there is nothing coming my way
I have looked up
I have looked down
I have looked sideways
But there is not even the tinniest sign
Father decades have gone by and I think I have endured enough.
You say patience pays,
But have I not been patient enough?
Have you forgotten me?
PLEASE HAVE MERCY!

Tawananyasha Rambanapasi Poem
They all want her
It's like they have been blinded to unsee the beauty in me.
We laugh together,
We play together,
We even fly together
But they all want her.
Is it a curse or is it bad luck?
But who am I to deserve it?
Well.. it's rather an ambiguous misfortune.
Similar in every way,
No different from identical twins
But they still want her.
When one of them says a simple hello
I am puzzled, confused, and I feel weird
Because I have gotten so used to her getting the spotlight,
Used to her being everyone's the one
And to me being ghosted.
Even she is getting fed up.
But to me it's still a dream,
An impossible wish,
And a non-existant reality
I might try this or that
But all is in vain, a truly inevitable reality
Because THEY ALL WANT HER
