I Understand More Than You Are Aware Of

If it's no to the god pod, and no tc,

It is you who will choose,

Your own destiny,

To be with thugs.

And then wonder and whine,

And feel 'unworthy' of my hugs,

You've made this prison in your mind.

 

Going south will be certain,

You'll find more of the same,

Don't be surprised,

If you get caught in their game,

If you really want changes,

For the good in every way,

Make up your mind,

To stand on firmer ground today.

 

Stand on your own,

Face what's inside,

There is nothing wrong,

With wanting to hide,

When all is against you,

And when not one gives a care,

Maybe things will be clearer,

For your soul then to bare.

 

You cannot blame anyone,

We all get what we ask,

If you make the wrong choice,

It's not mine, but your a**.

 

Others are doing,

What you claim can't be done,

It isn't impossible,

It's just not going to be 'fun'.

 

Don't try to make excuses,

That any of this is for my protection,

Cause there's too many people,

Holding up my true intentions.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Understanding comes from a willingness to understand, and being able to see the forest for the trees, and not just what you want to see. This poem is about something I am being made to deal with due to a situation beyond my control.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
