I want to be understood.

I do not feel that I am.

Most do not understand me.

Some may say that all poets and writers are.

But I am no ordinary poet.

I am still a person,

One who still lives their life.

I want to be understood.

By my friends, family, and the world.

But like most,

I am not.

Please understand me.

Take me for who I am.

With all my flaws,

And with all my imperfections.

Many people in life seek understanding.

So this is for everyone,

Understand yourself

Before you can be understood.

But most of all, understand others.
