different
what is love?
and what does a body have to do with it?
having a crush is exciting -
but what do you do when the waves flatten
and you overcome those first feelings?
is this even love i‘m feeling
or am i just doubting myself
am i incompatible to love?
feels like i‘m numb to arousal
to feel like everyone else.
i‘m so different when i want nothing
nothing but being in the norm.
i want a boring life, a boring love,
a boring me.
but if i‘m anything, i‘m different.

Author's Note
don’t get me wrong: i really value and adore my friends. but i just experience things so differently. i don’t miss people, at all. in my head, there is no difference between people, like i really can’t imagine putting them in boxes or categories like gender or origin. how does love feel like? and when does a body react to it?
my head works differently, and it terrifies me: there are no guidelines to living with it, but there is societal pressure to behave a certain way. why am i like this??

When society is tearing you down by telling you, you’re supposed to be different, damn it, I’m telling you I’ll fight everyone and even yourself until you can finally feel free as the beautiful, wonderful person and mind you are. Love, I guess we’ll either never understand it we haven’t seen enough of it yet, it needs time, time, time for your mind to accept or accept not how, what and if you’ll feel, because I’m sure deep down there is something, something that’s lurking to come out and fill your day with light. And even if it’s not there, there are so much more things to live for in life. I’ll be there for you. You’re not going through this alone.

BRAVO for differences and being different; there are too many imitations today. Hugs and peace, Oral

I love your insights and questions, your honesty and admissions to confusion.
Your on the journey, dear fellow poet,
it's called the journey of life.
Try to enjoy the ride and trust the process.
And most importantly, trust yourself.
Different is good. It means you're aware of being you.
