First off: I will not allow bashing or flaming of this work since it is written for the Otherkin. If you do not know what we are, this is the best working definition: Otherkin is the term for a group of people who consider themselves non-human or having a connection to a mythical archetype in some way, whether by physical body, phantom limbs, or the soul.
Trying to explain it myself would be a little rough. However, by 'physical' means, it is usually meant by those who are elvish have more pointed or elongated ears, etc.
Any of the above will be screen shot, reported, and then deleted. There are many out there who are not, as of yet, comfortable with their 'kinness, and seeing such reactions would bring them further down. I don't want them to suddenly dislike or feel uncomfortable being who they are just because some idiot felt the need to bash them.
Anyway, please enjoy. You may not find it the best written or anything like that, but I personally like it myself. Inspired by a wonderful fellow on YouTube, user name Spiritrunner6.

Simply lovely. I love the rhythm of this poem. I felt the repetition was especially effective, but you did break the rhythm with the final two lines--and badly. I'm not sure how you'd fix it because I'm not the poet, but there you have it. Also, while it used to be customary to capitalize every new line in a poem, it's generally not done anymore because it's so archaic. You might remember that the next time you write a poem. Of course, if you don't care about someday meeting publication standards, it doesn't matter. Write it how you like.
So are you Otherkin? I used to believe I was Otherkin and still maintain a close bond with my Otherkin form (a small brown dragon with a cream white belly). I even experienced "phantom limbs". The Otherkin community loves it drama though. I had to get out of it to save my sanity. I did hang out with the therianthropy community for awhile, too, but they tend to be so elitist it's disgusting.

Even though it doesn't rhyme and I think it's not an ode, it's really, really nice. It represents well all the kinds of otherkin and how they are all united and separated at the same time

I don't think this deserved a feature as much as some other writings. it not one of the best not even one of the best recently. the rhythm is sketchy, stanza and line size is inconsistent and the feature was only given because prismind wanted to feature some writing.

This... is interesting. Although, you seem very conflicted. I don't sense a singularity within you, and it disturbes me greatly. It is as if you are split into two separate beings and both of them are battling for dominance within your soul, but the only result I sense is confusion and resentment (on a low level).
Please do not take offense to this. It is merely my thoughts.

Oh, this is fabulous! It is so... relief to see otherkin so comfortable with their 'kinness to publish poetry about it.
