Analysis of The Conflicted Perception
When someone just rejects you take it as it comes
for then you know you’re not of them cause your new life has begun
For what they see has long been gone they never knew you at all
Their thinking is so narrow and oh so very small
It tears you down and holds you captive trying not to part
If you search for yourself inside of them you have no place in their hearts
Even though they talk to you and masquerade as light
they haven’t seen the true you it is darkened in their night
But you are strong beneath it all and tread the waters blue
you fight to stay alive that’s what you always do
There’s nothing you can say or do that will ever change their minds their twisted thoughts are ravishing but are so very blind
So see yourself my child as you know you truly are
You are such a diamond shining
brighter than the nearest star ⭐️

About this poem
About not getting caught up in the perceptions of others and the battle it can be to overcome that. When we pull away from that it is easier to see our true beauty and worth as God’s children. The Light within
