My Pain

Hey dear friend!
In the truth you know, that I've shared with you.
Don't you dare lie,
and tell me that you understand my pain.
Course truthfully, YOU DON'T!!!

Please tell me it's gonna be okay,
NOT "I know how you feel"
Course truthfully, YOU DON'T!!!
You DON'T know the extend,
of how caved in my walls are inside of me.

Unless you've walked in my shoes,
And felt the trap.
Perhaps your word could calm the storm.
Perhaps Your hug could give me hope.
Course then, I will know for sure
that you UNDERSTAND my pain.

And If you never walked in my shoes,
Please DON'T lie
DON'T tell me that you Understand my pain,
Course truthfully, YOU DON'T!!!
