Misunderstood
Life used to be a breeze
A sigh,
A petal on the wind
Gone by,
Blowing in the noonday sky
Was where you would find me
But times have changed
I'm not sure when
Or how
It happened
To me now,
These storms have stirred up
Misunderstanding around me
A word was whispered
In my ear
It's been awhile
Maybe years
And now the wall between us
Stands and no one says a thing
I'm not quite sure
What happened then
Or who it was
Who first changed skin
Now you seem to me to be
Stepping away even more
Since you've changed
Towards me
Can you expect I will
Not see
And not change too
After all I'm only human
And feeling small
I only wish that things
Could be
Mended and bridged
Between you and me
It doesn't matter what I do
You scorn each branch I offer you
Now it ends and now you see
The wall is only yours to free
We all build up walls and have misunderstandings
And it's really a part of life's ups and downs.
It's nice when you find the exact right words
To say to a friend that share how you feel
About the walls. At least that's how
It happened for me here.
