A Spectacle

By Kati Frazier

It seems I am quite the spectacle.

Stare at me, if you like.

Your burning, judging eyes

trying to see through me

as though it were a disguise.

But I hid nothing from you.

I need not your lies.

Stare at me, if you like.

Try to make me insecure.

As though some shame is hidden

beneath my second skin.

Why are you so determined

that I share your sin?

Stare at me, if you like.

Study me like some beast.

I have a different visage

and fit not your demeanor.

I must be a different species.

How harsh, how obscene.

Back Home!
