My Readers Are Misjudging You

by Goran Rahim   Apr 21, 2007


My readers are misjudging you.
Without knowing who you are,
They call you crazy,
They call you stupid,
And
Some call you Selfish.
They call you names.
My readers are misjudging you.

And
It is my guilt
For putting that kind of image
In their mind.
I didn't know
Everyone will dislike you.

I get messages
Saying
"Forget her, she dosn't deserve you"
I get messages
Saying
"You deserve the best"
I don't know
What "best" is to them?
I don't know
How can they tell a lover
"Just forget her"?
My readers are misjudging you

I cannot bear it
So from this moment
I will not write another word about you.
My readers are misjudging you
That is why
I will hide the truths in my heart
I will hide them from my pen
So
I don't hear anything about you.

From now on
I will not use the art of poetry,
Yet
I will be an artist
The art of learning
How to leave without you.

    This was a great poem. So true as well. You should never judge anyone before meeting them. Very well done! =] 5/5

    Very nicely written...it was an easy read that didn't require a hidden story which was good for me right now because it is quite early in the morning. I think this poem was very well written and I could easily relate nice work!

    I have never read such an open minded poem! it expresses what you think and at the same time your standing up for waht you believe.

    im with you. people should not judge the book by its cover. this girl your talking about seems nice, and if you like her, and she likes you, you should be happy with it.

    any ways, your poem is really nice, please dont stop writing! i just got into poetry last week, ive never been so good at it.

    please keep writing! it would mean alot to a young girl that is only in grade six!
