Understand

G84

You read me words and see the ramblings of a mad man.

This is because you do not understand.

 

You believe I overthink life and that there is no more to it than your eyes can see.

This is because you do not understand.

 

You think that within me there is instability because my feelings are different to yours,

This is because you do not understand.

 

Ironically the experience you have, allowing you to confidently make these judgements, is all down to how you, yourself, believe a person feels and thinks inside.

This is why you completely understand!

 

Do you Understand?

    Good poem and good content within.

      Thank you Alex,

      I wanted to emphasise that understanding is limited by our personal experiences, and misunderstanding leads to all sorts of judgement, there is a lot I do t understand that I’m sure others will, and so the cycle continues!

      It is truly sad how many do not even take the time to understand those closest to them. Great write.

        Thanks Clarita,

        People don’t take the time anymore it seems, to understand one another, I have a few people in my life my poetry is normally about, it helps me air a little frustration 🤭

          I am glad I am not the only one. My poems are the reflection of my mind and soul.
