CORALINE
I always
had
a big mouth.
Cute
button lips.
Bold truths told
with a kiss.
Until the truth hit the spot
but believed to be
amiss.
So they ripped
my button off
with a twist.
Baby doll,
time was done.
To the Real World
we had come.
Leaving
me
unable
to use
my tongue.
We couldn’t understand
each other.
That’s when I learned
differences
outcast
“The Other.”
