The Frankenstein Complex

I have the Frankenstein complex.Yuck

People fear what they don’t understand.

They also tend to hate

what they genuinely fear

or are not used to.

*

I have been alienated.

Exiled to dark corners.

To isolation, which makes it worse.

*

It now appears

that I attend dark, sinister séances

and am evil.

All because people don’t understand

that I might love a person, might love another.
