Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood...

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good...o Lord...please don't let me be misunderstood..."




It's funny how Nina Simone sung those words at least 30 years ago...and it's ringing true with my soul today. Sometimes I feel like no matter what I do or how hard I try to explain myself I'm just simply...misunderstood. I think the problem stems from me being internally closed. As much as I talk...I keep alot of serious issues inside me. And because of that, people don't always see or understand the "root" of my actions and sayings. And half the time...I don't feel like I should have to explain them. If you were to sit and have a serious and honest convo with me...you would know that I am definitely more than what meets the eye...or airwaves for that matter. I think that we as a human race are so busy being wrapped up in ourselves that we don't even stop to think about if we are taking the people around us at face value. People have become satisfied with knowing people on the minimal level...and then become upset or confused when someone tries to introduce them to a deeper level than they are accustomed. When I use to blog on myspace, I had many people read them and then come up to me and tell me that they couldn't believe that I could write something so emotionally charged/emo/angry/the list could go on...and I would always question them in my head like "why is it so impossible to think that I could write or feel like that?" There are a lot of people in this world that are being taken at face value and I am one of them...are u??????

On another note...*R.I.P.* B. Ray...I've been thinkin bout her a lot lately...wish she was still here.
