I'm one of those

I'm one of the odd ones
the different ones
the other ones.
the ones set apart from the usual
the dominant
the norm.
I'm one of the ones left out of the story books
the history books
the religious books,
making way for every character
every leader
every great mind.

I'm one of the objects of poison
of seduction
of temptation
for the normal
the orthodox
the prevalant, who spend their lives attempting to overcome our magnetism.

I'm the butt of a joke.
a punchline.
a stereotype.

I'm one of those who are unconsciously ignored
who have no power
no position
no destiny.


I'm one of them.
