DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD

Have you ever feel that you need to find some space for yourself, away from your routine and other people expectation?

But at the same time, you cannot help feeling guilty for letting down all their expectations?

And sometimes you are overwhelm by the thoughts that actually people are misunderstood you?

Recently, I discovered a beautiful lyric of a song, sing by a western legend, Yusuf Islam

I cannot help myself to share it with all my fellow readers
And to my dearest husband who recently discovered a new vocab - "backstabbing"

People do you understand me now
If sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angle
When things go wrong I seem a little sad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometime, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes it seem that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
I don't mean it

People, don't you know I'm only human
Don't you know I have faults like any one
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little thing, some foolish thing that I have done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just someone whose intentions are good
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
