The Slanted Beauty of Love

Seeing them stand together
at the altar that defines love.
It was one of the most beautiful things.
Kind of like having a child.
Or the evil beauty of slanted truth.
I was 23 1/4 inches tall.
12 pounds heavy.
Look at me now,
wanted by friends, but not by my own parents..
Look at me now.
Searching for the slanted truth,
which is the beauty and horror that Love is.
I came into this world,
fat and bawling.
they want nothing to do with me.
Look at me now..
pain in my chest,
Anxiety
Depression
Jealousy?
Envy?
They want nothing to do with me,
so I shall grow alone.
Like a silhouette growing bolder,
and it’s edges defining.
Sharpening.
