Sorry, you misunderstood us
<p>We talk and argue, laughing and sharing ideologies and perspectives about life.</p><p>We get food together and gist about the weirdest things.</p><p>Meanwhile, in my head, I’m thankful for having good people around me,</p><p>happy that God blessed me enough to have good “friends.”</p><p><br/></p><p>It was scary, but I thought I could do it, even if everything in me said, protect your heart.</p><p>I thought to give it out to these people so they would understand me.</p><p>So I joked and played,</p><p>until the insults became more,</p><p>and the feeling of being misunderstood got to me.</p><p><br/></p><p>The isolation creeped in, and it drew me closer to my death.</p><p>I knew, and it’s also funny ’cause I heard.</p><p>I knew in the silent back-handed compliments and the obvious insults.</p><p>I knew in the eagerness to talk to others but irritated when I talked.</p><p>And I started to walk away and ignore the burning feeling of anger.</p><p>So I asked and stretched out my hand for love.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Sorry you misunderstood us.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I looked at them and tried to make sense of what they had just said, but their eyes said it all, and their actions showed me before now.</p><p>I ignored it because I thought it was in my head,</p><p>running in my head,</p><p>killing myself in my head.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Sorry you misunderstood us.”</p><p><br/></p><p>But what did I misunderstand?</p><p>Was it when you offered help?</p><p>Was it when you listened to my pain?</p><p>Or was that for your entertainment?</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m sorry I misunderstood you.</p><p>It dawned on me that I misunderstood them all along.</p><p>They made it clear.</p><p>I just couldn’t see.</p>
