Forever a Child of Divorce

Abecedarian poem

A long time ago, I was
Born, a
Child of
Divorce
Eternally affected as such, despite attempts to
Forgo this reality, a
Great divide between myself and others unlike me.
Hurled into a world that would never be the same
I thrived despite it
Juggled two families
Kindled different parts of myself
Longing always to belong
Made to feel the same
Neglecting the fact that I’m simply not…
