The Struggle
Location
Don’t tell me that you understand how I feel when we both know that’s a lie
It’s hard to talk to someone who has never experienced struggle
They think that they’re comforting you, but all they’re doing is telling you how privileged they are
I need someone who went through the struggle
Someone who knows what it’s like to have no light in the house for a night because the bill couldn’t get paid
Someone who is aware of the insufficient resources in our community and wants change as much as I do
Introduce me to someone who isn’t afraid to say, “I’ve never had this before”
The type of person who’s always willing to share because they know what it’s like to be empty-handed
I need someone who knows struggle as much as I do
Someone who knows that the struggle doesn’t dictate where you’re going in life
It only shows where you’ve been
