I am growing and I am learning <br />but honestly, I'm not always on top <br />doing great. Few things are more difficult <br />to live with than being Misunderstood. <br />Sometimes its downright unbearable. <br /> <br />When I am Misunderstood, <br />I have no defense and I have <br />noticed that Its usually get worse <br />I go fully get loaded, ready to set them <br />Straight, and all I do is dig myself deeper! <br /> <br />The harder I work the worse it gets <br />and the deeper it hurts. <br />I was misunderstood! <br />And no mutter how I tried, <br />How loud I might have shouted back, <br />I was still misunderstood. <br /> <br />That happens all the time <br />I experience in my little own world <br />a measured of what I could call persecution. <br />And persecution might come <br /> from an innocent implication. <br /> <br />I didn't mean anything by it, <br />but It was misread and <br /> an offense was created. <br />I am not alone. If it's any comfort to me, <br />This is has always been standard <br />operating procedure for the people of God. <br /> <br />It's part of my growing process. <br />I do not grow fully and completely <br />without sometimes being misunderstood.<br /><br />Mary Wismer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paralyzing-sting/
