To be what I am is to be what you’re not
A loss of friends; seen at no
Social gatherings
An ability to drive people away
Loneliness being a constant companion
Far too often, the outside is sought
Leaving little want for that
Contained within
Beneath the skin
Under the
Clothes
What does it matter what I wear or how
I wear it
Whether layers upon layers or less
Than that
It will not change those feelings
For me
Stark nakedness I
Prefer
If I am seen with an
Unwanting eye
Why should it matter
How I am seen with that eye
Do as others do
Turn, ignore, pay
No attention
Walk away
