UNDER UNDERSTOOD

To be mis understood is to be absorbed A rejection of existence by the listener The communicator communicating But the message is dissonance It has happened one two three many times Too much so that speaking is distilled To specifically what you believe in So that you can see me, It is heartbreaking I would have taught you so much We could have had so much fun We could have found each other In the meanings elaborated with patience But I think a little too fast And my word smay slur I also do not know many English words To describe states of the heart with grace and panache I lack finesse I speak too direct You say am too honest I know no diplomacy I might embarrass you while disrespecting my self I am too headstrong but you are weak at heart you are not talking to me You are misunderstanding on purpose to Conserve who you are rejecting any other So I echo you you you Because To be misunderstood is to be a broken mirror It makes you hate yourself Struggling To find yourself in the other
