The Good, The Bad & The Suarez

misunderstand

ˌmɪsʌndəˈstand or Luis Suarez

verb

past tense: misunderstood; past participle: misunderstood

1. fail to interpret or understand (something) correctly.

He cuts through every trail that is within the rectangular terrain of grass.

He weaves through every obstacle that wears a shirt not of Blaugrana colours. He tries to find his own way in life, constantly hacking down anything in his path.

Deep down, he understands the how’s and wherefores within himself, yet is myopically misunderstood by mostly everyone else.

[whispers] They don’t understand him.

But he bares his fangs at the misunderstandings. His bark equally as loud as his bite. Just ask a certain Serbian.

The same legs that seem to crumble at the slightest touch are the same legs that help him slalom around his opponents.

For as long as a ball is at his majestic feet there will be an impenetrable barrier between him and the misunderstandings.

The same arms that he uses to tug and pull or to save his country, are the same arms he now kisses ceremoniously.

He longs to be accepted for who he is without question, but knows this is impossible.

Answers lie in waiting, if only they’d express their doubts in words of curiosity, they’d be satisfied with what they’ve learned.

He aims to smite the misunderstood into smaller misunderstandings until we miss the understanding.

But he hardly misses, right? Whether it’s an opponent’s legs, the goal or the headlines, he rarely seems to miss.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personified, but by any means necessary he will be. He is Luis Suarez, and he does not care for your understanding.
