I WAS WRONGLY HEARD

Whispers in the wind, a voice astray

Words twisted, meanings lost in disarray

I spoke my truth, but ears did fail

To hear the heart, behind the frail

In halls of judgment, a verdict was cast

A sentence passed, without a fair grasp

Of the intent, the passion, the fire

That drove my words, my heart's desire

Misunderstood, I stand alone

A stranger to the words I've known

Echoes of me, distorted and cold

A reflection of a story untold

The truth I spoke, was lost in translation

A message mangled, beyond recognition

I tried to speak, but voices were loud

Drowning my words, in a sea of crowd

In the silence, I search for a way

To reclaim my voice, to make it stay

To find the words, that were lost in the air

And make my truth, heard, without a care

I reach out, with a gentle hand

To bridge the gap, to understand

The distance grown, the space between

The words I spoke, and the words unseen

A cry for clarity, a plea for peace

A longing to be heard, to release

The burdens borne, of misheard cries

And find solace, in a listening sigh

In the stillness, I'll find my voice

A gentle whisper, a heartfelt choice

To speak again, with words anew

And hope that ears, will hear me true
