Some poems are very outwardly accessible. However, it is our duty as a reader to understand that this does not mean the poem has no message or it is intentionally difficult. Some of the best poems you may read might take days or even weeks to decipher, however, once understood, will posses a truly heartfelt and personal message with you.
Songs often do that with me personally. Listening to a song once might seem catchy or even unpleasant but after you hear it a few times and really start to listen to the music and lyrics it may become a song you are absolutely in love with. This isn't surprising seeing as how songs are music-accompanied poetry.
It is encouraged to give every piece of art a chance, no matter how accessible or inaccessible it may be. Sometimes the greatest messages in your life may take even a lifetime to understand.
