Transforming Poetry

I don't understand

How did this all go so differently?

Why can't I do what they ask of me?

They beg and they plead

Be the person we need

But I fail and give up so easily

I wanted to be someone great

To never know anyone's hate

But I crashed and I burned

Losing all that I yearned

And now I must accept my fate

I thought that I could do good

Help others the way that I should

I offered help to friends

Who all left in the end

So I guess I misunderstood

I wanted to be liked and welcome

I didn't expect such venom

From the friends I held dear

They attacked without fear

Thrusting my life into bedlam

I feel such a failure now

I suppose I just didn't know how

To do what they wanted

It seemed so distorted

So I'll manage alone, somehow
