Misunderstood

James Michael

They writhe helplessly 

In pain and suffering 

Paths misdirected 

Paths of the lost

Souls in torment

Misunderstood

Perishing relentlessly 

Hands reaching out

Constantly ignored

      Thank you for reading this one. I feel more empathy than sympathy. Any one of us could be walking in their shoes. You never know what tomorrow will bring.
