On Being Frankenstein

When you feel

Different

Apart

And alone…

 

Then you know,

At least in some degree,

How it feels

To be

Frankenstein

 

Or when you feel

Un-loved

Un-belonged

And un-wanted

 

Then again,

You know

How it feels

To be

Frankenstein

 

Or maybe you harbor a secret shame…

One you cannot share,

And you shun the light so others cannot see…

 

Then you too walk in shadows,

Again, just like me…

Frankenstein!

 

Or when people stare at you for some odd reason

Or look away so as not to see…

 Or maybe you really are ugly

Or feel you are because your skin is green… 

Then you too

 Know the pain
That is

Frankenstein!!!
