You Don'T Understand
I don’t think you will ever understand.
I see that you want to and I try, but even though I am not broken I wouldn’t want to lie.
When I tell the truth people don’t always notice and then when I don’t no one seems to care.
I have so many problems, but somehow I make my life seem perfect.
It’s not.
My life will never be perfect and neither will I.
My past has flaws beyond comparison.
I must stay positive because I refuse to lose my will to accomplish.
I struggle to express my emotions because I don’t have time.
They all go into the little box in the back of my mind and then all come out at once.
My emotional outbursts confuse me because I can rarely explain why I’m upset, but then I realize that I have been detaching myself from the world for far too long.
Sometimes I feel like I don’t care, but then other times I feel like I would never give up a chance to help someone.
I guess it’s because I confuse myself that I think no one else will ever understand me.
