Entiendo

Do you entiendo
life's many plays
and fouls
and games
and takes
each scene being
in between
one positive or negative thing
too many bags to carry
too many points to handle
why can't I just light a candle
and take a bath
and relax
I always want what I can't have
but I believe that I can have everything
and the joy or pain I bring
can mess with someone's life
pain, excitement, confusion, happiness, strife
are all feelings felt
and I wear the belt
to carry them around
I don't drag on the ground
I try not to slip or fall
and I try to do it all
with just God's guidance and assistance
feelings of resistance
to anyone that can break my heart
but I still break apart
not knowing what can be
so I try to see
an opening in the smog
and I go along
looking for clues
to the subtle abuse
of life's everyday tasks
I'll rise from the pack
and take on it all
and when others call
I'll answer and help
I'll try not to yelp
when the load's breaking my back
and I'll act as a shoulder to cry on
the one people can rely on
when they have joy or pain
because I play life's game
very well

If I understand the spanish word entiendo correctly, ( I thought that's what it meant) (But its been so long with spanish for me, I don't know any more) it means intention. I have to say, that that was very good writing!
