Understand · Poetry of my own design

Understand

I understand rage.

I understand needing to hurt to feel something

I understand feeling powerless

I understand death

I understand losing someone so important that you can’t breathe

Life takes me down over and over

I finally feel like I’m losing my composure

Stuck in a world with no home

I understand being alone

What I don’t understand is why people need to hurt people when they feel powerless

What I don’t understand is why people don’t understand when others are trying their best

Let us rest

I understand pain

I understand love

I understand being in a room full of people and feeling alone

I understand trauma

And I understand addiction

What I don’t understand is why people judge

Have you ever had something you do that makes you hate yourself but you can’t stop.

Have you ever had anyone tell you I love you

I care about you and not been able to believe it

Have you ever had to admit

I understand all that more than I understand myself

I understand the problem with poor health

I’m trapped in this numbness

That doesn’t really end

And no one understands it

not even my friends
