Jessie Conner Poet Ballad

I Do Understand

Tell me what you guys think about this, I want to use it as my talent show try out piece



I know it's difficult
for you
to look at me as 
a person you once knew

My mind is 
not around and this is something that your fear
but please listen to me
 my body is still here

The thing we
once shared
I fear I forgot
but I do remember 
a little and a lot

I will not behave or act
like I was
this is a disease
I have no control of

I'm sorry for the 
burdens I put upon you
you'll be crying and feeling
feelings of blue

I then see
how I make you feel
but I don't know why 
it's such a big deal

I fuss I hurt,
I feel all the pain
of some of which 
I truly gain

My life was a journey
I disguise
a life of love
which many surprise

I feel all your love
and warmth in my heart
I'm always with you
far and apart

don't worry 
my loving family
I'll remember 
one day hopefully

I'll be leaving soon
enough
for any on like
 you
it's goanna be tough

I don't want 
to say goodbye
even though
I'll carry through 
the next life

thank for everything
you've done
the light that
 came and shun

I'll love you
 all forever
My time is up
being with
 y'all was a
pleasure.
