    Things You’ll Never Understand

    Yo, i sit back, pop a pill and get high

    Place all my feelings on the table and then divide

    Separate the good the bad and the shit i just don’t understand

    Try to figure out my heart, my life and anything else i can

    I ask myself questions and with all my sanity i do respond

    Nothing crazy about your heart and your mind having a bond

    Focus on the word trust, cant trust the word its self

    Focus on the word friend took a count found 1 true, me no one else

    Tried to understand that thing called love, just hurt to think about it

    Tried to understand that feeling of betrayal, never should of doubt it

    Never close your eyes to what you don’t want to see

    Never open your eyes to something that shouldn’t be

    I used to walk in a clear darkness that my eyes just couldn’t penetrate

    Wasn’t understanding how it hurt to love but it felt so good to hate

    Put my trust into people because they seemed okay

    Had friends so damn shiesty they pushed my enemies away

    Spent a lot of time seeking answers to which their were no real questions

    Just finally said i don’t know it all and gave in to learning life’s lessons.

    "Wasn’t understanding how it hurt to love but it felt so good to hate" Every now and then a line from a poem just explodes in my head and will make me wish I had wrote it. this line was one of them......bravo

    The thin line is one we all have to walk at one time or another. Too much knowledge can be good and bad. Great write. 9

    This is really cool. I think the rhythm works well, and I love the way you wrap it up at the end, and the repetition of line structures, like the ones beginning with focus, tried, etc. The one kind of awkward place was the line "Focus on the word friend took a count found one true, me no one else"...I think it might work better if it were shorter, because the rhythm of the poem depends in a large part on the line structures you used, and that one really doesn't fit well with the one before it si

    Thanx for the compliment and i appreciate the constructive criticism i will take that to mind.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
