our Misunderstanding

Over here, I am alone and lonely,
We misunderstood each other and hated each other for nothing.
The day seems longer than usual,
Life is boring every day,
No more back slapping and pat on the back,
No more jumping around,
I am home sick, no one to dance, jump, and laugh with.
No one to share with and no one to walk with,
The environment is harsh, it has no respect for the kind of skin I have.
You seem not to understand my way of life.
Why do you pretends like
I don’t matter to you
When you are all that matters to me?
I’m sure the psychologists have an answer to that question
And I’m as sure it is the different answer as a poet would give.
Every thing around me looks queer
Our memories are not always reliable,
Especially when they are shadowed
By pain and depression.
Darkness surrounds life
And causes fear
Where can we find the light and strength to fly free?
Let’s not make those around us fell the same
All in the name of our misunderstanding
Let’s be open to the alien in our midst
See them rooming the major streets
See them in the slum
Hear them crying for survival,
Begging for aims and accommodation,
See them stranded with bags,
Almost hunch backing them.
Let us not develop misunderstanding
I may not speak the words I may want to say.
But my eyes will not hide,
The misunderstanding I see everyday.
