The Banishment
Distance did little
to curb the appetite of man
seeking refuge
in a community of sin,
the debauched had their
own set of rules,
and nobody wanted the truth
that I knew so little
about myself,
marking me deceptive
and lumping me in with others,
my defenses and voice
muted by the unwillingness
to hear my story,
unable to peacefully evolve
or expand beyond these broken beliefs,
and tear myself from unrealistic visions
that harmony is possible
in the complications of lust.

Hmm, I'm trying to decode this, but making one think can be a good thing. I feel the once internal struggle being released into a state of acceptance. Is this a war with another person to accept you though, or did you visit a bdsm club and feel unwelcome for being too vanilla? *giggles at the latter*, I'm just trying to guess who the non understanding freaky as fuck peeps are when you mention the debauchery..
I joined a bdsm site long ago trying to get a feel for the lifestyle and they were total assholes because I had questions without an established title. Perhaps you were rejected by the same type.. hmmm?

What a perceptive read of this. Yes, it sounds like a similar situation. Without revealing too much, lets just
say in the quest for knowledge, my inability to be defined was considered offensive to some. Not all.

Some really do take it beyond seriously. I think, maybe, because a lot of people are trolling for entertainment and or don't take it seriously. Surely they weren't born with the knowledge to make them capable of proper discernment though. I suppose they feel too protective of their community/group too. Hopefully you found some helpful resources..

I did, thanks. I was about to pull the plug and someone reached out at just that integral moment and convinced me to stick around.
