Part 1 - Misunderstood (Prior Poem)
Your eyes no longer hide the truth
They have become the lens
to your dark soul
The bitterness written
between the lines of your face
Chiseled deep into the crevices
where it now resides
Dragging the once curve of a smile
into a permanent scowl
The magnitude of your suffering
living on display for all to see
Your strange, misunderstood past
responsible for a demeanor
that pushes friendship away
Making it impossible for anyone
to come close so they might
know more of your story and pain
