Misunderstood

People just don't know how lucky they are...

Misunderstood

 

 

 

Sitting here alone

Wishing to be understood

Not that anyone cares, not that anyone would.

 

People just don’t understand how lucky they are

I wish I had someone to worry about me,

It seems that’s asking for a lot nowadays,

My hope, my wish, seems so far.

 

I’m hoping that you care

But it just doesn’t seem like you do,

I don’t think you know how much I hurt,

I don’t think you’re aware.

 

I’m always making sure you’re alright

You do that sometimes, too.

But it just doesn’t seem like you

Can see that I’m all wrong in your line of sight.

 

I know I can be a b***h

I know I can be a handle

I know I take a jump at you

Every chance I can get.

 

But don’t you think there’s something wrong?

Can’t you see the anger deep inside that’s set?

 

You say you’re sorry

You didn’t mean it

 

But don’t you see what’s really there?

Can’t you see the sadness, the depression inside

At the bottom that just sits and sits?

 

So, maybe this is a cheesy rhyme

Maybe I’m just upset.

 

Or maybe, just maybe, I’m right

Oh, I’m not, you wanna bet?

 

 

 

Author's Note

I made sure to write this in clear font so EVERYONE can see. -_- Hope you make good use of that, Andrew. I hope you're happy.

Enjoy.

Hello Kristen,

I think the best poetry is when we open up a small window into our lives and allow others to see exactly what we see, feel what we feel, taste what we taste. A great poet opens up a whole new world for people, allowing them to feel emotions they didn't know exist. Excellent work.

Regards,

Matthew

The main problem with life is that we are all different. Few of us are easy to get along with. I could feel the battle to find peace in a life. To maintain a relationship and friendship is hard work. Sometime we must be quiet and be kind. A powerful poem with a lot of emotion and questions. A excellent poem.
