A Misperceived Wanderer
I’m acutely adrift when inaccurate echoes of insecurity accumulate
regarding the softly stubborn citrus tinge donned by borrowed encircling light
A misperceived wanderer disturbing the circumference of this sphere
I’ve grown into gentle waves of acceptance
yet confounding conflicts of my existence entrap me
momentarily within moon microscopic late-night chilling fears
I will soon have no choice should I elect to reject the noise
but to befriend unburdened tears…
I’m effortlessly emboldened when my truths temporarily
command their rapt attention to reconsider reciprocity of feeling
I only wrestle with wonder paused and undetermined on her path
watching soul growth in so many without ever questioning
where they belong on this inaccurately inclusive universal map…
A misperceived wanderer disturbing the circumference of this sphere
I refuse to translate my essence to your preference certain aspects disappear…
