Delving In

A Distraction Acrostic

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

D elving darkly into my

I magination .. Opening window of my deepest psyche

S urreal, strange, whirling chaotic mess

T asked I am by legal constraint this morass to tame

R eorder my true self to a new, calmer level

A cceptable to a society not accepting of different

C hange..., adapt.., blend..., fit in they say

T hose who stand out may be taken out

I nside I delve, ever deeper... probe, wonder, seek

O nly I find I really don't care what they think of me so ...

N ever mind. I'm going to go paint my sky fuchsia.
