Misunderstood

By Patrick Olson



Face the fury of haters,

They are the instigators,

Regardless what they say,

Be positive anyway,



So people believe you are unintelligent,

They are unknowing and ignorant,

Show them how you really are,

Being rude will not show your true caliber,



So the world thinks less of you,

No matter what, be you and stay true,

Being depressed or oppressed will make you lose sight,

Find strength and keep your might,



Whatever people say about you,

Reacting in the same manner is beneath you,

You are worthwhile,

So don’t ruin your personality or style,

 Regardless how you have been mistreated,

Never decide to be defeated,

Expect more from who you are,

And you will go far,



Let go what other people think,

Their opinion shall not put you on the brink,

Do not start insults, violence, or frown,

Stay cool and calm down,



No matter race, class, gender, disability, sexuality, situation, or
neighborhood,

We have all been misunderstood,

It’s important to build humanity,

Without it, we will live in a world of insanity
