MISREAD

By Ronnie Perez

You look at me but you never see
you say you know me but that’s not really me
you hear my voice but it’s all in your head
the real me’s quiet, yours talks loud instead

i wanna rip out the way you look with your eyes
i’m tired of living through all of your lies
not cause i hate you, i want us to be free
i’m tired of being who you want me to be

you say you get me but none of that is true
you hold me close but your hands feel cold
you say you love me but your love ain’t blue
you built our story on lies that got old

it’s not me you hate, it’s who you made me be
so let him go, then maybe you’ll see me.
