Poem -

Understand me!

Understand me!

Heckle the hell out of me.
Settle the score constantly.
Forget to respect the arduous concept.
That I remember it vividly.

When you were still here.

But I know.

It’s not about the words upon the paper.

All I know is that….

I’m stuck within this rhyme,
At my own demise.
I’ve comprised a shelter into a prison,
Though I’ve committed - Not a crime.

And I’m stuck within this feeling that I hide,
At the dotted line.
A non-negotiable portion of this
Subprime baggage.

And I’m like,

I didn’t want to pull this carriage but I’ve managed as a horse.
Spent hours after hours hauling others and of course.
You can imagine how I’ve established subtle self-control.
But I’m an addict and it’s a habit.

So I purchased, then I stole.

And I’ve changed.
And I’ve changed.
And I’ve change for the greater good.

Now no one can say to me again.

That I’m not well understood.

Oh Max, Just keep going with a good heart and intention. Yes I can certainly understand, some times, some comments can be mis-understood here and elsewhere. Never mind. Best wishes. Yiyan

Thanks Yiyan!!! I think sometimes we all can be misunderstood. And yet in reaffirmation do we find who we truly are and who we truly want to be. Best wishes also! Thanks for the comment mate.

Thanks Tina! That didn't mean you had to read them all XD. But I'm super glad you did, I really love reading your comments~ They always brighten my day. I seem to do a LOT of soul searching on here, not sure if I find any though. Perhaps that part is up to the reader... either way, thanks for the kind comment my friend~
