Understanding
To understand me is to have loved me
because I am not an easy person to get
people search for low lites in my high features
but I am far from being plainly written
you won't be able to look up a phrase
or just one characteristic
I fall in love easily but rarely
do I conquer those endeavors
I float in my own world wanna bring a telescope?
A lot of times I need to be reminded of
who has it worse because I often lose hope
I befriend people dirty or clean
because not everyone has soap
we all have stains and things that need rearranging
so often I shower them with my unconditional love
Money to me is like having a body gaurd against poverty
I work over time just to make sure at night I have
a warm bed and covers to pull over my head.
Even if there is no one laying on the other half of the bed.
To understand me is to have loved me.
I love what I do and as I finish this verse
my eyes shine like pearls because I
know who I am and where I want to be.
I have an understanding of self.
