Left-Handed

I took A Disabilities in Literature course when I was an undergraduate student. The purpose of the course was to redefine what disability is and what it isn't. Disability Studies has impacted and inspired me to write a collection of poetry that coincide with Magical Realism, and reveal how the issues that humans and society have created negatively affect others. The poetry relates to culture, stereotypes, gender roles, mental illnesses, family issues, age, and old tales. The collection, "Left-Handed," dives deep into how traditional and modern views and habits scapegoat others into following and believing what is practiced, and how the needs and issues of those affected are ignored.

Groom

The darkness hides the most secrets,

As people commit heinous achievements

The evil lurks where people cannot see it,

And hides when people witness the culprit.

.

A predator's eyes

The deceptive smirk,

The sweaty hand

And a flattened berk.

.

Scanning the room,

Grooming small children,

The people warned them,

But parents swore him.

.

Crazy eyes looking

And finding that the closest believe the illusion;

Yellow teeth sneer

And crunch upon the child's impairment.

.

Pulling and grabbing;

Witnesses are threatened

And the victim becomes satisfied,

While the prophets hide and flight the lies.

.

Outsiders ignore or believe —

The crazy man's eyes and his impeccable charm,

The neuro-typical testimony

Is role-played as anxiety.

.

The mother's perfect child

And the father's Borderline-filled-star

Is far away from the moon

And is forming like dark matter.

.

The sun's blazing heat

Burns the plexus like wax

And reveals the core through the crust,

Shining the Indigo's seeking duty

While the evil man dies a looney.

Crystals protect the vulnerable,

As the enablers side with the predator,

Eventually, realizing the truth,

And turning up the real tune,

But the crazy man's dead inside,

And doesn't bat his eyes.
