Blind names

He noticed me friendly and disbeliefed my shyness.  
She saw me quiet and passed it for dullness.    
They look at me play and wonder my ripeness,    
listen to me speak and witness my intelligence.    
They describe an image they'll never see.  
They saw a glimpse and thought it was the whole  image.    
They went on talking about a voice they'll never hear    
Naming a person they haven't even met    
One said shy    
One said different      
One said careless    
One said care too much      
One claimed to understand.    
Their certainty was deluding    
I heard the falseness in their assumption      
but swayed along with their verdiction      
thinking I missed my manifestation.      
All the wasted time until today    
Now I know a stranger can't point me home      
When he doesn't know what country I'm from.
