If you had ever told me , that I would be glad:
I was “not ever welcomed in, or invited” –
That I would have chosen the present time to be celibate and/or sober –
Or to go disappear into some desert for a few years.
Not really so much by design, as much as it was “that’s just how life ended up.”
Or that I’d be glad that your so-called “inclusiveness” left no shelter for me.
I wouldn’t have believed you.
Think I’d ever be reluctantly “grateful” for a bunch of psycho, life ruining, “spell casting” broomstick riding treacherous women and/or nut jobs from 12-step groups for showing me … just how profane, sick, corrupt, backstabbing, devious and evil humans could possibly be over “power” in a fucking IRC chatroom… so I could fully understand how ugly politics and/or the real world really are?
Here we are.
