Sometimes, you awaken,
To accept that a human
Will never choose you;
That no matter how much
You love; how much you
Give your open heart;
Growing and changing,
Some humans will
Always categorize you
Into a space that will
Never change or fit
Into their life… not fully.
You are not the one
They call when
Their heart hurts
Or because they
Miss your voice.
You are not their
First choice in
The moments that
Matter most.
Sometimes acceptance
Settles in and
You cry after
Saying goodbye because
You realize that truth
Has stared you
Straight in the eyes;
That you will always be
The friend, the occasional
Twist and bend, yet
Still you hope, open
Like a flower then
Close back into
The tightest bud,
Because words ring
Loud and you
Sit in the wake of
Your own mistakes;
Never trusted
Even as you gave
All of yours in
The most intimate ways.
So, the minutes,
They crumble like stone
As you find that home
Can be only in yourself;
That this world is not
For the Otherkin
To be coupled with Humans.
And in the end
The Hybrid finds aloneness
To be their Earth’s purpose,
And this existence
Becomes more
Of a struggle,
Sifting through the rubble
Of human energy remains.
