One Poem by Noelle Dunn

Costume of Concern

You can not see that which you are
as you exist in a petri dish
a mere specimen for those self proclaimed scientists
who claim to know, as they diagnose and examine you
through a microscope of culturally rigid eyes,
under this so called costume of concern,
and the guise of God (good),
the need to know and the obsession to
de-compartmentalize your frame
to make sense of the senseless
resisting the truth by calling names
and placing undue labels by and out of the refusal
to accept that which you are
