Beautiful Freak

I had discovered this several years ago, but had forgotten until now.

 

In Australia my last name is a colloquial juxtaposition that means

Beautiful Freak.

 

Like someone who is pretty but a “bad” person.

 

Or

 

Someone who is not very attractive but a “good” person.

 

Beautiful Freak.

 

Two words.  So much description.  So much truth.

Beautiful Freak.

 

I want to wrap myself in those words.

 

But then, really I already have.

 

Beautiful Freak.

Warmth and cold.

 

Light and dark.

 

Desirable and solitary.

 

Everything you want and everything you don’t.

 

All wrapped into one.

That’s me.

 

That’s all of me.

 

In two perfect words.

 

Beautiful Freak.
