I always stood out
like a black dot
on white linen tablecloth
never fitting into the puzzle
that my family tried to maintain
I’m sure they loved me
in their own special way
but I know they rather
have me fit in those family
portraits instead of sticking out
but love is eternal
love is nonjudgmental
love is all consuming
no matter what I know
they will love unconditionally
