Examining an image, drunkenly, a few months back.

Some think I’m a fool now

And I’ve been made blind

Some run far ahead now

And leave me behind

Some say that I’m odd now

And think I’m a joke

Some say, “Hey man lend me

Five bucks I am broke.”

Some think my words blister

And I’ll never learn

Some think I’m damn crazy

And my thoughts just churn

Some think that I’m too weak

And I’m full of doubt

Some think that I’m trapped in

My head wanting out

Some think they have lost me

I’m not far away

Some think I’m too callous

To hear what they say

    Hey. Nice piece. It probably shows how people misunderstand sometimes, right? Like how you hate being judged, or pre-judged when they don’t even know you well. Guess I understand that kind of feeling too. And you express yours nicely in the poem!

    By the way, that’s wat i got outta ur poem. Perhaps you meant it a different way. But hey, poems r open to interpretations right? :)

    I like how you’ve presented your thoughts, clear and honest.

    That is a good way to write down your feelings. I don’t expect you are anything like the things the poem says about you. Good work.

    I love this one, good rant. But, I don’t think it sounds finished, like its only the first part….maybe you intended that?

    Very well done,
    This is a terrific writed
    People do misunderstand
    and think of us other than we
    really are

    You definitely have a unique style to your writing. It comes across as very blunt and open, which shows strength.

    Good write.
