They Hated her
Without ever knowing her
deep inside
she is their fear
their dark secrets
or desires
different from them
their empty promises
so beautifully strange
never the same
as all the rest
cookie cutter images
perfect.
Saints.
but see her tears?
her sadness is real;
she looks different
acts different
an an artist in her mystery
yes she is wild
free to soar
and she will never be Caged.
Author notes
this poem is about a very hard point in my life.
the years 1999-2000.
how i look back, remembering the pain i was put through. both self-inflicted and by friends who were suppose to love and support me, and how it taught me to be strong and love myself for who i truly am.
because that is the only way you can fly.

I love the ending. I also remember when I went though that. Being different and how people treated me. I love your poem.

Wow! I love the part
'an artist in her mystery'
Just the kind of poem that make me go WOW! =] -
I read this poem a couple of times. I liked it in the beginning but I ended up loving it. I especially liked the flow of the poem; it read a little jagged which really suited the energy and emotion of the poem. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful.
Great start, with “they hated her” catchy and intriguing!
Very well expressed, I feel so much strength and passion from your poem and I think this reflects your own individual personality.
It is dark, made me think, and read your poem a couple of to connect with this “artist of mystery”
I felt like you expressed your ending perfectly, the last two lines to be specific;
“free to soar
and she will never be caged”
it sums up the whole poem and truly radiates your title “judge me not”.
good job
