I Understand I understand what it is to feel pain, I understand when you're treated like dirt. I understand when you're out in the rain, I understand what it's like to be hurt. When you ache inside, and don't know why, I understand. When you lower you're head, and start to cry, I understand. When you know you will fail, but you still try, I understand. When you shed a tear, and hug good-bye, I understand. I know what it feels like, To be pushed away. I know how it hurts, No matter what they say. I know what it's like, To fight all the way. And I know how pain, Just won't go away. I understand why you feel helpless, I understand why you want to hide. I understand why you feel lonely, I understand when you don't have pride. I understand what it's like to be you, I understand when you feel like crying. I understand your frustration inside, I understand when you feel like dying. But precious, please don't cry. Hold you're chin up, and dry your eyes. Everything will be okay. There will be no more good-byes. |

OH! If we all had this type of understanding...even just half of it...Beautiful poem. "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." ~Henry David Thoreau |

One Who Understands- If only more could 'understand'. The closing is uplifting. It's a good thing to lift someone when they've been misunderstood. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
