Try to live my life like me
Try to understand
Try to tell me what you see
And all that is planned
Do you see the hurt?
Like I do?
My face against the dirt
Do you see the moments shared?
Like I do
Perfectly unprepared
Try to see the things I see
And then tell me you don’t agree

I felt so much anger in this. Way to go. It's so much powerful if a poet release their emotion into their work...Good job!

Please if you have time, check out my work. Comment and rate if you wish thanks.
