You Dont Know Me

I want to burn myself
in the fires deep within my heart and soul.
I want to revel in the pain,
caused by words and actions of those I know.
As you go on pretending to understand me,
to understand the person that I am 
and the things I feel. 
Like you would ever truly understand what I go through,
the thoughts that’s in my mind,
the questions in my heart
 and the actions that propel me forward in life. 
You won’t believe me,
you won’t understand even if I explained
in the simplest of ways.
You see, 
you don’t really know me
as well as you claim to do.
No one ever can.
