Hurt

I wish you could feel 
What I feel
I wish you could see
What I can see
I wish you knew 
what it is like to be me
I wish you knew my pain
That does not belong to me
I wish you could catch the tears
That flow from these eyes everyday
I wish you had my heart
Then You could feel how it hurts
When you look people in the face
And see what they are worth
I wish you had the gifts
That I was blessed with
That curses me everyday
I wish you had the answers
Upon which I was gave such a Burdon
I wish you knew the things people hide
Behind their fake happy smiles
I wish you could feel 
their pain they do not show
Deep down they all cry out
But most make not a sound
