Misinterpretation

Music
Art
Poerty
A reflection of one’s soul

It is not the words
Sound
Or appearance

They are merely a means to an end
In ways our minds can understand

We come up with our own meanings
Maybe it’s not what the artist intended
But meanings nonetheless

Our hearts can be touched
So deeply
By misinterpretation

Misunderstandings
Unanswered questions
Unfulfilled curiousity

Sometimes we never know the true meaning
But does it matter?

Sometimes we never know
That our misinterpretations
Are shaping us

We are blind
Guided by ignorance
Following behind
Never wondering where we are going

We can easily walk away
But we do not
We continue to follow
The path that has been created

Sometimes we must step outside
And look from a new perspective
Open our eyes

But these moments will change us
For once we step out of line
We cannot go back
To the same spot

Maybe we enter another line
And do not even know it
Believing that we are free
When freedom is an illusion

There is always a prison
That limits us
Our thoughts and speech
Possibilities in life

We try to express our souls
Speak our truth
But not everyone will understand
For misinterpretation is a powerful force
