Work in progress
Perhaps, we were born broken.
And as we got through life, we take in fragments from other people to make us whole again.
Far from perfect. But every bit as precious.
Still, more than enough.
Square peg, round hole
If you always try to fit in, you’ll lose parts of yourself; important pieces that make up who you really are.
So just be yourself, and the right people, your kind of people, will follow.
Break the mold.
Ward
The days go by,
regrets never left my side.
But you did.
Life did.
I pray,
that you found your peace.
And as my demons haunt me,
that I’d find mine.
Au revoir, mon ami.
Loop
Thoughts, turning
Never really knowing
Running in circles
Seemingly unending
Slept, waited
Still, nothing
Awake, adrift
Emotions fading
Lying, thinking
Still not knowing
No longer feeling
Back to the beginning
It’s easy to be misunderstood these days
Everyone has this idea of everybody else. This may be fine and all, but everything just takes a turn, for the worse at times, when that idea is suddenly, for some unfounded reason, turned into our own truth.
We perceive people based on our experience with them. To many, that short time is all it takes to paint a picture of who the other person is. Perhaps because it’s within our realm of comfort to understand them just within our level of perception rather than put in the effort of knowing who they really are.
So, is it really easy to be misunderstood these days?
No. Not really.
It’s simply easier to misunderstand.
We’ve become too preoccupied fighting our own battles that at times we lose interest in trying to understand almost everything and everyone.
And to be honest, that’s not our fault. That’s just us getting through life.
And being the misunderstood person that you are, it’s not your fault either.
So when you doubt yourself for seemingly being misunderstood most of the time, don’t.
Don’t go beating yourself up for something you have no control over.
All you can really do is to understand them. Or at the very least, try to.
