it’s been cruel today, this morn
I woke with epiphanies
which would invite only scorn
yet I know,
nothing’s closer to the truth..
being a victim of mental abuse
is so hard to confess
will it be seen as an excuse
to justify
being what I am…
those who dislike me so much
for being different from their puny self
may just find another crutch
to tell me
you’ve never been normal…
and it couldn’t be more true
for normal is their level, as they see
I couldn’t bother to rue or glue
my self in dark chambers
Yes, they know
but they can’t admit, you see…
Your Verse Epistle made me wonder, what is normal? I don’t know if I am normal or not. I’m just me…take it or leave it. Took a long time and some hard work to get where I am…happy. I just ignore those who think that they are normal and I am not.
This is such an exquisitely penned epistle! Some people get high by putting others down, it just shows how extremely cruel they are. One need not lose heart nor think any less of themselves. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt. 💝💝
Normalcy is a crutch for those who cannot admit what they really are.

Your poem is very touching Reena. Many people, unfortunately face this situation and few have the guts or strength to stand up to it
