    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...
