To Be Understood

Oh what a blessing it is to be understood

To have someone ‘get you’ without having to utter a word

To find comfort in the silence

To connect.

It’s a lonely world when you’re not understood

Trying to express a thought

An emotion

An intention

An energy

Only to find it fall by the wayside time and time again, as if speaking in a foreign language.

And yet we still try so hard to be understood
