Understanding

Understanding takes time.
              Unfortunately we, 
          Usually don't care,
    Unless someone's close to, 
      Us, offenses often go,
      Unnoticed because we're,
               Unaware of them too.

Alexis, I just wrote a poem with the same title and entered it in the contest without reading anybody's poem at all. Now, I am reading some poems and read this one. Good luck!
