What I Wish You Knew

Sitting silently here and listening to you thinking to myself what I wish you knew of how different your life could actually be if you would only listen to me! When I tell you what I wish you knew how much better you'd feel if I could break through But you're caught in a cycle you keep spinning 'round and I'm trying to pull you out before you drown in all your emotions all this guilt not your own exaggerated, dramatic and over-blown You are used like a puppet like a toy on their strings so abused and exploited for their own selfish things that it feels overwhelming too complicated to comprehend- and you're much too frustrated too exhausted to pretend that you believe anymore in those fairy tale endings holding on to your sadness depression defending What I wish you knew what I wish you could see How I was like you how I came to be free... How I stopped taking blame for another one's shame How I firmly took hold of the things I control How I recognized the difference and let the rest go!
