- Abnormal Thoughts from the Average Mind

Categories: Experimental PoetryUncategorized

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I regret to inform you of the hatred within.

The hatred that pulses and grinds at the thought of you not being mine.

Two souls do not make one, but if I could form a butterfly, our shared wings would indeed be identical.

It’s not a matter of taste or preference, but requirements of time and deference.

There are those who wish upon a star, as they do not know who they are.

I know what burns and yearns, I know of drive and driven.

There is no lack of confidence in my choices, you must be mine,

or the hatred rejoices.

J.D Mullenary Sr., a.k.a. AbnormalVAverage, is a teacher and Esports coach based in Texas. He grew up on the beach in California, enjoying its temperate climate and boundless enthusiasm for life. After completing his first degree at nineteen, he felt that he needed to grow up and discover new experiences. With that in mind, he joined the military, earning a second degree in the process, and served for four years. After receiving his honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, helped raise his two sons, and returned to college with a focus on English and teaching. Now, he spends his time writing when he can, teaching students and Esports players the values of critical thinking, while still fostering all of the strays his wife brings to their home.
