Miss Understood

I've become
 abstract
 they dont understand
 anymore
 
my vague dreams
 and a reality of mediocrity
 bleed into one 

the veils slipped
 and I glimpsed midnight
 I watched as each pale fell
 and a god whispered come near
 
I've changed my dress
 to hide growing scars
 littering the landscape
 of my entwined limbs
 
scattered from here
 to neverwas, I am lost
 alone and so afraid
 and misunderstood again
