Hollow Words

There is so much misapprehension in this world

in us

that my head is spinning from that fragile grasp

of your words that meant to hurt me

but left me empty

because ego in everyone of us

is much more that the perception of the facts

The truth and lie

all lie beneath our chests 

and my actions meant something else

than your understanding 

but never mind, you didn't get me anyway

Objective and subjective

water and fire

Can we even for once see the things from higher?

Can we escape the conceiving,

can we break from deceiving

ourselves and objectively admit 

that sometimes

there are no other sides, just different people with different guides

I really like your use of language in this poem,
"Can we even for once see the things from higher?
Can we escape the conceiving,
can we break from deceiving
ourselves",
the enjambment helps the poem flow and the multiple rhymes in one sentence gives it a rhythmn that is enjoyable to read

It is truly amazing how much misunderstanding there is in a relationship... or just between friends......that makes us uncomfortable....and much of it is very trivial...and many times there is no resolution... frustrating at least....you are correct when you speak of different sides...it's really about unique emotions, sometimes hidden...sometimes deceiving....your comments are very true and honest....Nice!
Warmly, B

Thanks, you're absolutely right! many times there is no resolution because we are different people with different perceptions. But it is worth trying to be less selfish. I am glad you liked my poem. Sending Love xoxo

what do you think? can we be free from judgements of others' way of behaving? Or is it always some kind of personal?
