Pushed away: Daffodils
“Whatever runs this place decided against me a long time ago, and I've stopped appealing.”
It keeps joy, closeness and anything sacred at arm's length, on the settled understanding that these belong to other people under an arrangement made before it arrived. Shame beginning in the earliest months gets read as evidence of a cosmic ruling, and once the ruling is assumed, refusing happiness becomes the only dignified response available. What it asks for is to treat the verdict as inherited rather than issued, and to test one small piece of it.
It echoes Kullervo, cursed out of the cradle in the Finnish songs, who took every ruin that followed as further confirmation of what he had been told about himself. The form implies a task: to separate the curse from the evidence collected to support it.
