You Don'T Understand

you don't understand is a line I often hear especially from those who hold pain so dear rather than share and relate their misery they chose to dwell within their own agony to say "you don't understand" is an easy thing to do but do you really know what others have been through I've seen babies beaten within an inch of their life done time with husbands who killed their loving wife a woman who was raped and left to die he cut off her arms and legs she wondered why families so poor dumpsters become a diner sometimes they splurged from a trash can liner just the other day a woman sold her child to feed an addiction that had gotten too wild go to any nursing home and visit the elderly look deep into their desolate eyes where memories used to be reach out and comfort them while holding their hand whisper in their ear "you don't understand"..........
