Your eyes were filled with unshed tears
But they mistook it for tears of joy
You tried telling them
that you were not lost nor a wandering nomad
You tried to tell them that you were never homeless
That you were not yearning for a homecoming
That the world is your home
But they were not listening
They wanted to hold you captive
In rich and gilded canopies
They forgot you had made your home in the forests
That you slept in bliss under the stars
They forgot you partook of chewed up fruit
They set you apart
They drew lines of separation
They saw you not
Because their eyes were clouded with
Mad passion and hatred
Nor did they listen to you
Because They were screaming in manic frenzy
They made you about violence, hatred and Retribution
While you were actually all about solace and Redemption
An epitome of gentleness and grace
They loomed larger than you
They presumed you needed protection
They forgot that you were the Protector
