They Don't Understand


When in school 

they say we should learn everything that is possible

they don't see the obstacles 

of the many classes with textbook bibles
 
They don't understand the fight we endure
 
to ensure our education is secrue
 
Where they want us to learn
 
but under their circumstances
 
we have no say in how it advances
 
The struggles of being a teenage girl
 
with so many expectations to fill
 
With one boyfriend that's real 
 
They have no idea how it feels
 
when it seems like your alone 
 
on a road that you have to call home
 
becuase it's dark and your home is no longer your own
 
They don't understand
 
they won't understand
 
and they refuse to understand
 
but you can't say anything to them 
 
because it goes against God's plan
