Misunderstanding

24 June 2024 9:54 Am What good is a written word if no one reads it? What good is a spoken word if no one hears it? What good is either if no one understands it? How tight and dark the prison of confusion Enlightenment rejected for lack of inclusion Societal chaos a city of souls lost Love abandoned sanity tost My way my vision my wants, hearts incisions Who cares who bleeds for my needs and decisions Humanity my vanity self centeredness uncanny When my heart is to busy to care for the many My heart of stone disguised in flesh tone Pretending to care pretending to atone This is how I could be if this were the way that I see But my Father replaced the faux for reality So soft and fleshy this heart of mine I lend it out time after time It comes back battered and bruised Torn and injured from being abused But that is what it is for to be given not just stored Given to those who need love most even if they smash it on the floor
