How do say I understand?,
I lived a privilege life
Born of an unknown woman
Raised Another, of Jewish Faith
and a passive Protestant father
Given much
Yet the feeling of emptiness
and loss is prevalent
and knowing that lived
on borrowed time,
Left me with survivors guilt
and sarcasm scribbled in bits n bytes
viewed by thirty thousand minds
Whose thoughts were in-kind
Nothing vague left
between the lines
The words in times
They will be found
And once read
Will open the mind
To know
I as well as you
Have lived a life
Of similarity
Just in different Hues
Varied expectations
Dreams short of breathe
Overwhelming Reality
Ever looming questions
Of why, and if
Purpose and contentment
Will ever agree enough
To leave me at peace
With
Not being more
Proactive toward
The injustice
All because
It’s hard for
You to think
I can not understand
As I am not you
I am me
Endlessly
mis-understood
Most of all
Human
How do say I understand
I lived a privilege life
Born of an unknown mother
Raised by a Jewish Mother
Abandoned by a passive-emotion void father
Replace by excess
Yet the feeling of emptiness
and loss prevalent
and knowing that
living on borrowed time,
Left me with survivors guilt
and sarcasm scribbled in bits n bytes
viewed by thirty thousand minds
Whose thoughts were in-kind
Nothing vague left
between the lines
The words in times
They will be found
And once read
Will open the mind
To know
I as well as you
Have lived a life
Of similarity
Just in different Hues
Varied expectations
Dreams short of breathe
Overwhelming Reality
Ever looming questions
Of why, and if
Purpose and contentment
Will ever agree enough
To leave me at peace
With
Not being more
Proactive toward
The injustice
All because
It’s hard for
You to think
I can not understand
As I am not you
I am me
Endlessly
mis-understood
Most of all
