Understood

If you didn't know it was bad. How would you know it was good? If you didn't know how to be sad. Would you be misunderstood? What if someone told you something funny but you thought laughing was insane. Would you run inside when it was sunny just to get out of the pouring rain? Can you teach a child to hate who never had any love to share? Do you hurry up and wait or do you wonder if you care. How do you make up your mind? Does someone make it up for you? Do you follow closely behind because you don't know what to do? If you can't think for yourself what kind of message can you give? If you always ask for help will somebody tell you how to live? Will you happily plod along until someone tells you it's time to run? If you don't know it's right or wrong then you might think work was fun. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad. If working hard made you feel good. But I think It's kind of sad that you never really understood.
