This is a poem about being misunderstood; something Ive had to deal with many times in my life. Hope you enjoy it :)
Some swear she waltzed passed swiftly,
in a charocal grey Donna Karan dress
her black Prada bag swinging daintily
on her lower right arm; humming a song
Some say that her midnight black Fendi sandals
have sordid secrets behind each criss cross
each step leaving clues along the sidewalk
and under the eyelids of the rising sun/
Rooms fall in silence from undescribed surprise
enchanting whispers seeking to know
why her head is held so high; Hmmph!
way up there...like she pretty special or something/
No knowledge whatsoever of her insides
but they talk a hole into the atmosphere
not pleased until her tears they seem to hear
while fingers scratch their empty heads;
because she never lost her smile
Too shallow to envision beyond the glamour
with hard hate clogging their minds
not even a reason given; reaching out
and get harked on; because there is green
in their brown eyes/
Not a hybrid combo from birth
its like the guts of flies
Invidious people do not discriminate
they hate for the hell of it
all the time/
and the only thing she ever offered
was her love...
