Delving In
A Distraction Acrostic
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.

Perfect! I love the symmetry/mirroring in the lines. And also that courage at the end to say, "fuck those guys, I'm going to do it my way, they might think it's it's weird but pfffft" 😁
I really like this piece! I have a photo of an almost fuchsia sky taken up the bush last year!
