suppressed for years
and.... I tried,
yet they never seemed to understand.
So... I remained
misunderstood by ignorant minds
I guess I became lost
m i s g u i d e d.
Yet, I remained
on that path,
maybe, to be accepted.
They forget, even
saints have sinned.
I did not need
to be fixed
nor cured,
i was not diseased,
i was not dying.
My mind saw in clear definition
Yet the heart was still... A little torn.
It was you - them,
all of you.
Those who never showed me the way
nor any faith.
So, I remained
always at the
start.
Each time I took one step forward, in the end I just went
back
and... Even though I was there
none of you saw me.
Silence became my friend,
The heart did beat,
but it f
e
l
l
upon
deaf ears.
I was fragile,
but you were intoxicated,
floating within ignorant intimacy,
like butterflies full of lust
but... They still came
took what they wanted and
left.
Even you
could not see
how your polluted
perfume was choking me.
When I showed you
the whole of the moon,
you disagreed and said,
it was just a crescent.
Again you failed to see
what was hidden
behind the clouds -
which masked the truth.
As the
horizons diversify
and the stars
begin to fade,
the day will come,
when I am gone.
Some may cry -
most will smile.
As you stumble
upon my words
and the ink reels
of blood
portray my life,
maybe then,
as the sun
is dying -
someone may
finally understand.
