A Problem of Understanding

February 11, 1985

I find myself
Misunderstood.
I find my ways
Thought out of place.
I knew not
Why they worried
About my seeming
Different ways.
No one tried
To explain
Why it was
That I was shunned.
Now I know
Why they shunned me,
Now I know
What I must do.
I must learn
To be more separate;
I must learn
My proper place.
Until I learn
To be more separate
I will always
Be apart.
My friends must surely
Stay far from me,
They understand not
My true intentions.
I find myself
Misunderstood.
I find that I
Cannot be me.
They want a friend
Who is as they are,
They want me
To change for them.
Do I truly
Want their friendship?
Or do I simply
Want belonging?
