A/N: This is my first attempt at poetry. It MIGHT be a teaser for an upcoming Matt/Tai FRIENDSHIP story (NO YAOI). I wrote it during language class, which is probably a good thing cuz if the teacher hadn't yelled at me for not paying attention, this thig would probably be even longer! (the only short things I've written are haikus) The Question: Is it any good or should I move to Finland before a mob comes and burns all my work? Plz tell me, so I know if I should cancel my flight!

Just because that's what you think of me
Doesn't make that who I am
Don't assume you know me
Because you know nothing
You don't know what I've been through
and can't understand my losses
You don't know of
The scars of my past
My fears of the future
Because you haven't lived my life
You don't know what it's like
Or maybe you do
And I haven't realized it
Maybe you know what it's like
to feel unloved
unwanted
neglected
and maybe you know what it's like
to have a pain in your heart
a pain that aches
and aches
and never leaves
but you want it to
and don't know how to forget
and let it go
Maybe you have scars from your past
invisible scars that can't be seen
scars to the head
and to the heart
And maybe you're scared of the future
of things to come
Whatever lies ahead
I wonder why you can't understand
But maybe you do
Maybe you've been hurt, too
Maybe you're scared to understand
You've put up walls around your heart
But walls work two ways
they keep things in
but they also keep things out
And I ask why you don't understand
When I don't understand myself
And if I think, really think
I realize I've put up walls, too
And I realize it could be me
who is the problem
And I say you know nothing
When I don't either
And in reality,
Neither of us know what to do
Because the pain inside
tears at the heart
and leaves us both feeling
helpless
abandoned
unwanted
And wishing
Wishing
Wishing we could understand
