POETRY 30/30 - MISUNDERSTOOD!!!!!!!

MISUNDERSTOOD!!!!!!!

My mind is like a pendulum, disorganize curriculum
So many thoughts go through my brain; it’s more packed than a football stadium
Sometimes I think I’m a terrorist because when I speak I become everyone’s nemesis
Can’t get nothing across and now I'm stuck like a rush hour traffic motorist
Words out my mouth hitting the wall, no attention is being paid to me
All because I spoke the truth and it was received painfully
Why should we lie, I know I'm not gonna lie to spare nobody feelings
It’s always the right thing to do, so they can start the process of healing
Watch what you say, watch what you do and watch who you screw over
Doesn’t matter what I do, I’m never right, but there is no do over
Doesn’t matter what my opinion is, even if I'm quoting facts
If I say Obama is the better than Bush then you’re gonna say he’s not
Have you ever felt like nothing you say or do is ever right?
Have you ever felt like every discussion you’re in turns out to be a fight?
Have you ever said to yourself, you know what, I don’t think I should?
All because you know that when it’s all said and done, you’re gonna be misunderstood
Don’t you hate it when people assume all the time without asking
You tell them you’re good, but still don’t believe you and say it’s your feelings your masking
Don’t you hate when you say something that has two meanings and it’s taken the wrong way
But no one gives you a chance to explain what you really were trying to say
Oh brother, I tell you that can kill your mood faster than a heart attack
And leave you feeling nasty and groggy like when a mouth is filled with plaque
I'm not gonna stop speaking my mind and I don’t think you should either
No matter if we’re misunderstood, sometimes people just need to chill and take a breather
