Understanding
I try to explain how I feel
I have poured out my heart
I have answered all your questions
When you would ask what's wrong with me
I would explain as best I could
But when I do something that I have explained before
You told me I was overdramatic
A crybaby
Then tell me I wont get anywhere like this
It's not my fault
It is my brain chemistry
I have explained it as best as I can
But you still don't understand
I have said it over and over
I am starting to think that it's not that you don't understand
It's that you are not listening
Or that you don't believe me
Or you choose to ignore it
And treat it as just being overemotional
Like I can't do anything
Because you tell me if you have such a problem
Then stay home
And cry about it because nobody outside will care
And they may not but I would expect more understanding
From family
From people who know what I have been through
I just want you to understand but I feel that you never will
