I feel displaced Like if I let my guard down for a second, my intentions might be misplaced. And who is here to reckon with this, it would be simpler if my perpetrator had a name; but I think it's just me to blame. Displaced; misplaced; intentions unseen; easily erased. Maybe if you were able to see me you would understand I only want to be known. But to be known takes being seen and being seen takes being known. We are 0 for 2 and I don't know what it means to cry for help so I just stay here unseen, unknown, displaced or maybe misplaced. I no longer know.
