Misunderstood

About a kid who grew up in some hard times and is kinda mad at the world and thinks that people don't understand him but he doesn't realize he's not the only one.

People complain about being misunderstood.

"Came from a poor family, grew up in the hood.

You just don’t get me, you wouldn’t understand.

My life and sorrow seem to go hand in hand."

They try to vent, maybe spit some rhyme,

All their life just been around crime.

It's the same old story day after day,

"I was born into this, didn’t have it my way."

Pain is pain, even though it has many faces,

All kinds of people, all kinds of races.

So don’t be so quick to feel all alone,

Sitting by yourself with a whine and a groan.

This is just reality, everyone feels hurt,

Suffering and human nature always seem to flirt.

So instead of complaining, go out and try to change,

Quit feeling so down, you’re not that strange.

And if you ever see someone happy, it’s probably fake,

Thinking thoughts like yours, their own lives they want to take.

Author's Note

Ok this is my second poem ever so bare with me if it stinks. Hopefully you can get what it's about without reading the description because I feel like you shouldn't have to explain your writing. It kinda got dark in the last line I was trying not to be depressing with this one cause my other poem is f'd up haha but whatever. Tell me what you think!

Very impressive for a new poet:) It takes a long time for many people to develop their writing so take advantage of what you got in you! Great flow, Great rhyme!

This is absolutely spectacular!!!! I loved every second of it. The message was easy to grasp it had nice flow and rhythm, It had a purpose that lots of pieces dont have and that is to teach a lesson. I loved every minute of this. Great job. Keep writing!!! :)
