Misunderstood

The need to express yourself but not knowing how

I think therefore I am
I know the depth of my thoughts and feelings
But can’t quite express them freely
However, it doesn’t mean my intelligence is a sham
I am misunderstood and feeling no good
Bringing down my confidence and my self esteem
Hoping against hope there will be something left to redeem
I can’t begin to explain myself to the world
This emotion has me reeling, stealing silent moments away
Hoping that in the next breath I can capture my true being
Understand myself and clarify what I am seeing

Author's Note

not really particularly good at how grammar should be done for poetry, advice? This has no particular poem format, but it felt right when writing it and flowed nicely when reading it.

I'm working on figuring out poetry myself, so I'm not going to pretend to be an expert. :P But...what I have learned is because of free verse, there really aren't any "rules" on the way grammer should be done in that category. It's all about the flow, and like you said, I think it flowed nicely. All in all I liked this! I could really relate to it.

very well done! i think grammer in poetry depends on the author and style, but personally i'm not an expert. and your right, this does flow really nicely when reading it. i think a lot of people can relate, especially authors. i hate it when i have all these ideas but no clue where to start!
