Poem: Misunderstood

Roaming of the pathway
A mess of emotions flared
Drooped head in the shadows
of a solitary street light.
A tear of frustration
Eludes his shaken pride,
Expelled by his confusion,
Shown in his teary eyes

Comfrot beckons him
to its humble abode
But despair has already
waylaid his path
He ransacks his soul
to seek redemption
Only to find
a grieveful laugh

Roaming on the pathway
He looks up to the sky
Roaming on the pathway
With no one to hear his cry

Metaphor of how one would feel when misunderstood, when nobody will hear your explanation, and ignore your pleas for reconciliation.
