She Was Not A Mistake Poem by Tony Kavuoti

She was not a mistake

I am no mistake.

Though adopted and falsely documented from the start

Though dyslexic and slandered from the start.


Misunderstood from the start

Targeted for others ignorance and projections


She was no mistake

Similar to me

Misunderstood and forsaken
But never gave up


More than passion

real life real love


Doesn't always fulfill its self

But it awakens you

Brings you back to yourself

See through the veil of institutionalize, cultural, lies socialized slanders and lies


She is still freeing me like starlight from a distant past
