Understanding


“To perceive the intended meaning”

 

A feat not easy, as gleaning

 

The true words meant to be spoken

 

Is difficult, leaving us broken

 

Comprehension, much like using a broken telephone

 

Some people are exceptional

 

While others find emotions less perceptible

 

But you needn’t understand everything 

 

To understand anything
