Enemy At First Sight
some people
bring fear into a room
ideologies that I am expected
to accomodate
without knowing
what fear they bring into the room
they prejudge me
for prejudging them
merely because of who I am
of who I appear to be to them
I am an enemy at first sight
without having to say a word
or take any action
other than being there
of being unlike them
they feel unsafe
because I am not invisible
and it is my fault
all my fault
for not understanding
what they haven’t told me
