Unwanted by the world,
I could only entertain myself
in fictional ones.
Betrayed on all sides,
I became an island of one.
Every time I demonstrated
a spark of potential,
I was left behind by everyone.
I became a scouring monk,
not because I wanted to,
but because I had to.
I became an invisible man,
a pariah, anathema
to all the world,
though I did my best
with what I had
to contribute.
It was never enough,
and every cheek turned
away, every shoulder.
What else could result
from this?
Some rough miracle?
