Misunderstood
Your eyes no longer hide the truth They have become the lens to your dark soul The bitterness written between the lines of your face Chiseled deep into the crevices where it now resides Dragging the once curve of a smile into a permanent scowl The magnitude of your suffering living on display for all to see Your strange, misunderstood past responsible for a demeanor that pushes friendship away Making it impossible for anyone to come close so they might know more of your story and pain Copyright © 2020 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Word Prompts Beginning with “M” - Stream of Consciousness Magnitude - FOWC Strange - RDP Image by Sammy-Williams from Pixabay
