the misunderstood poet
perhaps its just the way the snow falls
or the way that life is
but i am the way i am for the reason
just as you are you
light doesn't touch the river
in exactly the same way each time
so how could each of us be the same
how uninteresting would that be?
yes, my words are simple
my words are cliche
perhaps hope is my soul
and soup is my way
i can't please everyone
not this time
i didn't ask you to understand
used to that by this time in life's game
respect isn't too hard?
human decency for the sincerest try?
that's too much to ask though
so i sigh and move on
wishes of luck to the next poet
who passes your way
hope she has flashier words
and definitely doesn't rhyme
hope she doesn't feel devotion in her heart
never writes it if she does anyway
hope can't live within her
not even a hint
the clouds should always exist
don't long or cry to far in either
you know, just in case...
