Can Anybody Understand? Poem by mona martinez
Can Anybody Understand?
can anybody understand?
my struggles i have,
to live in this life,
and hardly getting by,
can anybody understand?
that i wake up,
wondering if it was
all a dream,
can anybody understand?
all i ask for is to be me,
who that is,
i don't really know,
deep down,
a girl is trapped,
bagging to get out,
of this life she was given,
does anybody hear,
the cry for help,
or the pain she feels,
when she lay in bed at night,
just wishing that on day,
it'll all be gone.
will anybody understand?
that behind a strong person,
there is stubborness,
that hides inside,
because the things that are buried,
that might make them seem weak,
will anybody understand?
that all she wants is to be happy,
rather than life just being unfair.

i get what you mean. i like the last two lines the best because i relate so well. people tend to try and make you conform to some sort of standard or steriotype, god forbid you should be in any way different than what is expected. and for those of us who choose to be different, we are punished or misunderstood. and when you want out of it all, you can't get away. it's like slowly suffocating. life is unfair to people who reject what is socially acceptable. not only that, but for most, it breaks their spirit. when all we want is to be happy like everyone else, be happy for being ourselves, but life won't be fair. life isn't fair to anyone. especially those who really deserve it.... sorry bout the rant. pretty passionate about such issues. nice work though.
