Misunderstood

Sometimes we will be

Misread

Misunderstood

Misquoted

Misled

Does it matter?

Who knows the depths of our hearts?

And if I say not everything is attainable

Is that not just an admission of my humanity

Yes, a part of us is divine

But we also have dark places and limits

And some of us fail in many ways

To attain the heights

What interests me more

Is what becomes of the fallen

And how in time and with wisdom

We begin to turn our ignorance

Around

As well as the peace we make

With life on life’s terms

By walking forward

With both feet firmly planted

On the ground
