Miss Understood

I understood that you were lost on that day that our paths crossed The clock tick tocked I knew not why I wanted to talk but the time flew by Cloaked in invisibility I was your ghost A unknown guest you were my host I felt your heart beat in time and space A growing desire behind a lovely face A soulful apparition powers to few I could not reveal the truth to you Illusion like fog will eventually grow thin Perhaps you will know the beauty within One day the right person will take your hand But the warrior within is yours to command Everything unfolds this life’s yours to steer If you want to find strength look in the mirror Being a passing spirit I can’t offer you much I’m bound by limitations we can never touch So when you fall asleep and heavy eyes close Feel confidence rise from your head to your toes Those who were not there might never see the woman within that has the power to be Strong triumphant beautiful and great a miracle a teacher a master of her own fate! Inspired by Heidi Sands’ poem titled “Misunderstood” If you read Heidi’s poem first this will have more meaning.
