Misread, Mislead Female
Live in peace to anyone who has ever lost me/
Rest in peace to anyone who has died in me/
She said.../
Thought giving my broken heart/
Y'all would token like art/
And paint my monochrome soul, maybe... keep me embedded/
Sorry for the miseducation I missed to attend/
Apologies for the misunderstanding I hissed not to offend/
See, I'm like the Sun, I do know of my way around/
Day and night... carrying the burden to never break, I did now, and light is entering through the cracks, please sorry don't be confound/
I was and still, the anxious being that fed others with my love when their eyes were tearing with rage/
In tears, her eyes were in love with insomnia, I know what it is to water another life in the garden... 'til the roots harden... and love without touch, and give much... I'm an aging sage/
I have trained myself to hold my breath underwater/
Burying the thought of you wouldn't drown/
Baring the thought of you wouldn't down.../
Or in that order/
Sorry, if I gave you impure impressions about myself/
Worry, if I have insure aggressions I need some help/
I'm a misread female sometimes/
I'm a mislead female sometimes/
Still, I find my way out of the belly of the beast/
Until, I climb my way out of the hole I'm decreased/
Love I give when I'm breaking/
Trust I leave in the hands of others even through the aching/
In search of my best self, to understand/
I scratch the past shelf, for me to expand/
I am the misread book/
I am the mislead look/
Still, I am a female.../
