Displaced
'Twas isolation only in name
that stranded my soul in a language unknown
and prevented my joining the game
as I wandered in the cold
I searched for inclusivity
eagerly wishing to belong
and felt life's reality
while I stood quite alone
I learned things during my wandering
travelling far looking for my soul
found friends to love while pondering
how they tempered my years of cold
My spirit existed in a vindictive mood
it allowed moments bearing ghostly visions
that return in my Winters' gloom
naked in their frosty condition
Ghostly whispers are heard in the chill
they urge my soul to find it's way
while I reject the truth of everything
That's etched in my life story
I sought forgiveness for my actions
during the inevitable horrors of life
that held scenes worthy of contrition
and they remain the cause of strife
I fought the visions day to day
challenged barriers littering my way
like excrement from dull minds shading my journey
and continued steadfastly while enjoying my stay
