Who I Am

 I am

A saint and a sinner–

A study in contrasts,

or contradictions,

or compromises.

I am

In no man’s land

Where people from both sides

ignore,

dissociate,

shun.

I am

Apparently terrifying because

I don’t fit the boxes.

I am

Slightly terrified because

I know I never will.

I’ll be

Forever alone,

Respected from a distance:

Feared,

Mocked,

Ignored

Always.

I am only (mostly) accepted by the open sinners

I love them.

 

I was

Once known as the awkward child among the saints.

They now make me as uncomfortable

As I make them.

I am

Too ‘good’ to be a blatant sinner;

Too bad to be a stained glass saint.

I am

Stuck

For Eternity

In between

Extremes.
