#misunderstood poems on Hello Poetry

Esther L Krenzin Aug 2020

you took my heart
from it’s home
and i consented to it
sure that you could be trusted
with the weight
i was wrong
you began to complain about how heavy it was
you grew weary from holding it next to yours
so you
snipped the ties
and let
it
f a l l

-Esther Krenzin

It was too much for you

nothing left to give

i cried rivers of salt
thinking it would change things
that perhaps they would hear
and comfort me
in the end nothing changed but my
expectations
i no longer expected good from people
who had no good left to give.

never enough

i could carve the moon
out of the sky
and serve it on a silver platter
but still
it would not be enough

invisible

not all of us were born stars
some of us were born as the darkness
in between
that exists solely for them to shine
all the brighter

****

I am the **** you do not notice
next to the saccharine flower
the one that silently grows
in the others shadow
the one that spreads itself out
and declares its space on the earth
while others are preoccupied watching the ephemeral flower bloom

Lonely in the crowd

It gets so lonely
In the midst of the crowd.
Surrounded by faces
Yet no one sees you.
Hear a thousand voices
Yet none speaks the
Language you understand.
The only one who did...
Never really cared.
And you are tossed
right back into
the world of silence.

We all need people who understands us...

Scared.

I wasn't scared to fight, I was scared to lose.
I wasn't scared to shout, I was scared to be misunderstood.
I didn't move out to put an end,
I moved out to give you some space.
But you want what I didn't, so in your life now there is none of my trace.

"I'm ******* crawling out of my skin"

I feel like a drink
to wash down the burning intensity of anger and frustration
Temporary feelings of momentary exasperation

I don't expect for you to truly see
what precisely is going on within me

That Girl

Hidden behind walls
Wearing a mask
Lurking in the shadows
Is
Me

I am her
That girl
Who has never has laughed
Who never lets the sparkles into her eyes
Who never takes a chance on anyone

But the truth is
I once did
But I was shut down
I was pushed away
I was closed out

And now I want to
Laugh, sparkle, and trust
But how can I
When I have forgotten the way
And there is no one to lead me

yeah im that girl now, but not forever

Don't Belong

How am I supposed to act like nothing's wrong when I feel like I'm somewhere I don't belong?
I've got too much pride to be asking you questions, but the unknown is feeding my depression. I've never done it the way I should, so impatient, it's always misunderstood.
We've been through hell and back, of course we'll see everything as an attack, then fight back in the areas we know the other lacks.
So please let me tell you what I feel inside, because I want to close this divide, even if that means swallowing my pride.

Written for a dear friend, Matthew.
