Being Misunderstood by Barbara Goodhew

Being kind and nice,
Can be a vice.

If I mislead anyone, I'm sorry.
Being friendly, makes me worry.

Things I do and say I think are harmless.
But somehow it turns into a mess.

I just want to be accepted for me.
Closed hearted until I think,it should be.
My personality again MISUNDERSTOOD.

Don't Change
I sense some underlying pressure in this poem, Barb. To me, you are a straight forward friendly person and easily understood. Is anyone bothering you Barb?

Barb, No Heart, Beats, The Same As Ours
Great words of advice, from your heart. Speaking of hearts, no heart beats the same. Each has its own rhythm, an original song to sing. I'm sure we all realize, you are special, because you, are who you are, an original, like the rest of us. Sometimes, we sing different songs, yet none of us, mean to cause pain. So, you are safe, you know your heart even though, it searches like all of us, to find someone who sings in the same rhythm, as we do. Then again, you probably, are not searching at all, your only need is to be heard and understood, and You are. Sweet and kind.

I'm different I know
I am impulsive , stubborn and impatient. I feel privileged that you people think of me a nice kind person. thanks for all the comments.
