Perhaps lost in translation?
As writers, it is inevitable that someone would misinterpret or even disregard something based on what you write. Perhaps they'll even think you're someone completely different. In any form, write about something your worried people will misunderstand, have already misunderstood, or misinterpret about your writings. Perhaps even write about something people assume about you based on your writings |Max of Two entries allowed|

i'm worried i'm trying too hard, that people don't take me at face value. writing has always been easy for me. it's simple to put little bits of myself into art. it's not always this painful passion, it's just this thing that's always there. after a long day i just write about it. when i can't talk i write, when i feel too much i write, and it's not very romantic.

i'm attempting honesty through art because god knows i can't speak it and it scares me that people might think i'm trying to be someone. i don't know who i am and it doesn't hurt all that much. i'm just writing about it all. not pushing anything, not faking anything, just writing. sending little love letters into the universe and waiting for someone to write back.

I’m Nobody to Somebody (I hope)

Within the mass of metaphors and symbolism

Do people see cynicism and masochism

Perhaps they believe by the next dawn my neck will be in a noose

Till the neck breaks and my body hangs loose

Despite my words' oddities, I mean no harm

And your alertness and skepticism, you should disarm

I can assure you I'm content and happy with my life

Even if I must explore trifles with a molten knife

Sometimes in life you must explore every inch for meaning

But a meaning that's unique to you, that's what's seeming

For me that's to explore the light with a rusty scythe

As well as the night with the sun in my palms to carefully navigate writhe

There are times in crisis where my words become a hurricane

But soon they shall dull into a revelation akin to sugar cane

My journey shall be a lengthy and liminal one

And will begin once more with the sun
