Click hereAt six I watch with awe
the cruelty of elders
and tell myself
this is not me.
At ten I am tested again
amongst peers I am told to choose
those who have no kindness
over angels.
At fifteen
I realize that cruelty
never changes face
like leopards spots.
At twenty
Nothing has changed.
New people.
New disappointments.
At twenty five
I know for sure
I am all alone
sans species.
At thirty I reach out
for those who might be
somewhat different
like me.

sandspikealmost 20 years agoYou have done well young one. At 54 I realize most
people don't matter and the other six are assholes.
By the time you get this old your poem will be longer
and joy will return. Very thoughtful work.
