So, there's this poem I wrote..

Question

It's called Misunderstood. I want your opinion on it, rate it, tell me what you think about it .. etc..

Here it goes..

Why do I feel misunderstood?

Like people dont get me like they should..

Or should they get me at all?

This question lingers in my head and it's driving me off the wall

At times, I feel like an outcast

Like theres a cloud over my head that shall never past

Why am I so misunderstood?

I hate the feeling to the core,

and it's weaking me and now I'm sore.

Am I just crazy?

Or am I not the only one?

Being misunderstood is weighing on my shoulder and is weighing a ton

I just want for people to understand me and how I feel,

But I dont think that shall ever happen, so I guess these wounds will never heal.

Being the only one is breaking me,

So, why do I feel misunderstood?

Answer 1

really good:)

you should be a poet  

Answer 2

some sentences are to long it throws of the rest of the poem

Answer 3

I think you use the word 'misunderstood' far too often.

Honestly, the poem is trivial. You'll look back on it in five years and laugh at how silly and juvenile you sound.

Answer 4

It lacks a little... keep it up though, you will get better, I think that you concentrate too much on trying to find the right rhymes... maybe you should just write and separate it into free verse? Keep it up though, writing is incredible and a window to ones true emotions and soul.  

Answer 5

Being Misunderstood ( Misunderstanding )

People misunderstand information

for one reason or another

Like not paying attention

or not reading some directions

or questions properly.

Misunderstandings occur when question are not

in a form so someone else can understand

Misunderstanding can be bad

if its done too often

or it may not be too serious

Just make sure things are clear

to avoid misunderstandings.

Either way it can bother the person

who misunderstood.

Answer 6

i think it is one of the worst things i read in my life.  

Answer 7

i think its very dry and much like lil waynes song called misunderstood except his song is better. u need deeper thoughts than just the usual stuff everyone thinks of when someone is misunderstood but then again what do i know..

Answer 8

i agree w/ zellaaaa ^^

Answer 9

i think this is a really good poem you should revise it a little bit but its really good. I think it deserves a 4 out of 5. :)  

Answer 10

I myself, am a mere teenager. But a true artist in poetry...  I am sad to say that its all too true, your poem is indeed juvenile. But no need to fret, it would make a rather nice teens song! I can see it now! Make some music for it and a melody, and I promise you that it will be up there with those Jonas Brothers trash... no offense to you. Make whatever music it takes to make money... don't forget about this! If you don't want it I'd like the rights to it XD! Take this to heart.

Answer 11

Excellent poem...but the answer is that you are not alone, and not that misunderstood...you are just young, and all young people feel they are the only one with their particular problem...

Answer 12

They are right, very juvenile,

but everyone needs to vent and this is your way of doing it, but do know this you are not the only person or teenager who feels like this.

Answer 13

wow! that is SOOO good. you put feeling and . . . i don't know. . .you just did so well on that. i often feel the same way.

I love being understood

when people get me, like they should

even if they don't have to at all

i'm glad it doesn't have to drive me up the wall

i don't have to feel like an outcast

The sun shining over my head that shall never past

i'm glad i'm understood

i love that feeling to the core

i am strengthened, and no longer sore

i know i'm not crazy

i'm not the only one

being understood is light on my shoulders, doesn't weigh none

i'm glad people understand me and how i feel

it is here, the wounds did heal

being understood has  welded me together

i'm glad i'm understood

a great reminder to try my best to understand all!
