You Don't ..............

You don't understand is a line i often hear
especially from those who hold pain so dear
Instead of relating their misery
They chose to dwell within their own agony
To say You don't Understand
is an easy thing to do but
do you know what ohers have
been through
I've seen babies beaten within an inch of their life
Done time with husbands who killed their loving wife
A woman who was raped and left to die 'cause she told
a simple white lie
Families so poor dumpsters become a diner
Sometimes they have to splurge
from a trash can liner
People selling their only child
Just to feed an that was
unbeleivably wild
Death Feeling of Lonelyness
No need to feel shamelessness
Your hearts been broken in half
Mind still living in the past
Cold dark thoughts of suicide
"Why don't I just do it tonight?"
Put it in the back of your mind
let it rest and you will find
Dark clouds begin to part
New love will mend the heart
Thoughts of suicidewill disappear
Selfesteem will reappear
You've been made fun of but it's ok
learn to love another day
you hear the stupid laughs and claps of stupidity
hopefully there is no mental lapse
Look deep inside and you will find
Time to realease your feelings in another rythme
Your not a waste of time like those who try to find
the hate in the world
Go to any nursing home
and visit the elderly look deep into their
deslate eyes where memories use to be
Reach out and comfort them
while holding their hand
and whisper in their ear
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.........."

    No offense but when did you become so good at poetry. I didn't realize it before because you never tried out for the team. Your poem bbblew me away. I'm sure many people are saying the same thing.
