MISUNDERSTOOD
Sometimes the way I walk and a way I talk is noticed,
My words out loud are not always poetry spoken.
A look upon my face is perhaps seen as an angry glare,
To be safe is not always a smile shown, a distance kept.
Trust a little, just enough so that I am not fooled or taken,
Misunderstood I know I am, a judgment without knowledge.
Misunderstood as an appearance does not tell of who I am,
An impression to be observed, not always a story known.

Bravo on this excellent portray! Your poetry is so very good! “To be safe is not always a smile shown, a distance kept”. ..indeed! So many people wear masks to be wanted,needed, and excepted. The truth can be a rude awakening. Keith, I hope you are putting all of your poems, and writing in a book? Your book would sell well. ☺️
I have 22 portfolios of poetry. All typed out. Christmas, Halloween, Western, and more. Over 2000 poems, a Bruce Springsteen book with 200 poems and pictures.

“Misunderstood I know I am, a judgment without knowledge.” – Good line! First impressions should be thoroughly vetted before making assumptions. Very nice poem! 🙂
Thank you for reading
