Projection

I tell my thoughts
and, sometimes
feelings,
exactly as I want.
I do not force
an interpretation
onto someone else.
Why then
are some so convinced
that they know
what I mean
and I should
validate them.
It’s almost like
it’s not even
about me
after all.

Yes, projection, that can happen at times.
Some readers might identify with the writer's work so much, they can feel it is about them or gave it a whole new meaning, never intended by the author.
Green, your words make much sense.
Another piece I really enjoyed reading.
I truly appreciate your honest poetry.
And our words are always our own, no matter how many can relate.
However I also feel that having others relating to a writer's work is the greatest honor, as long it is not obsession, that is rather unhealthy.
I am sure you will understand what I am saying.
Very good work.
Take good care. 😃
