Living Misunderstood

MISUNDERSTOOD

I wouldn’t speak up because I fear,

I will be more misunderstood!

Already in trouble for all I care,

Speaking more than I should.

Whatever few words I utter,

To convey the right or explain the wrong;

I fail to make it less bitter,

And I seek a way, ponder all so long.

What’s causing distress and so much mess,

Lot of it repressed, I can’t express;

For fear of being misunderstood,

Re-live through all the ill feelings withstood.

Every passing moment, it grows so strong,

Words scare me and infinite thoughts throng;

I am muted and this state could prolong,

It will thus remain and could be yearlong.

Someday, hate will transmute into love,

To be detested to that end I need to be tough;

For all I said in silence will be heard above,

Until then, I will think I haven’t said enough.
