My words are consistently misconstrued?
My mind's a tangled skein, a heavy, buzzing hive,
A thousand thoughts competing, just to stay alive.
The weight of what I carry, a cloak I cannot shed,
Unspoken burdens whispered, in the quiet of my head.
There's so much on this landscape, a current deep and vast,
A future's anxious whisper, a lingering, echo past.
But tell me, in this turmoil, this ceaseless, inward fight,
When did I ask for guidance, to show me wrong from right
On how to be a friend? A patronizing hand,
To sculpt a core emotion, you claim to understand
Better than I do, who's lived it, felt its grace,
As if a vital part of me has vanished from its place.
For I have always known it, the warmth of steadfast ties,
The quiet comfort offered in another's trusting eyes.
I've held a hand, and listened to the silent, spoken plea,
Shared laughter, loss, and solace, with true empathy.
The art of genuine connection, it resides within my soul,
A natural, flowing river, that makes the broken whole.
My words were simply these: "I don't get along so well
With others," a distinction, a truth I had to tell.
Not that I lack the spirit, the kindness or the might
To truly be a friend, and shine a heartfelt light.
But rather, the strange friction, the superficial hum,
The chasm between frequencies, where common ground won't come.
So keep your unearned lessons on how a heart should bend,
I know how to be a friend; it's the getting along I contend.
