They Don'T Understand

They don't understand I ask them to allow me live Still they pollute my space With their ignorance Forcing me to be who Am not meant to be Was the friendship They desire from my soul Is obvious they forgot I have my mind And that is not for trade They don't understand Cos they wish to see Me behave They way they think They border my personality Only for me to be convinced Into a life they never suit My soul So sad am judge just For how I look Not by the content I bear So when I write this way Is very obvious still They don't understand They don't understand Why I refuse to change They want me different But I want to perceive My self by my self What else do they want I wish I could gave that Very thing they wish But I can't trade my destiny To lesser than what it deserved I wonder how my life must Be changed When I am not ready To walk another mans way If I have my way Why will I change So simple as this Yet it is so difficult For them to understand Cos till now despite my The knowledge I perceived From them yet and still I don't understand why They don't understand They don't understand They don't look at the world They ignored what reality says Yet they want to change me They can always talk about Our problems They know it but it not A problem to them If they benefits from power Where will their chance of Change come from So when I rebel against Injustice I wonder why am misunderstood I wonder yet and still why They don't understand
