You dont know


Why do you act like you know?

Why do you talk like you know?

Why is it you tell people these things as if I spoke them from my own mouth

You have no idea

 

You have no idea of my pain

My depression

My agony

My constant burden

You have no idea because I hide it well

 

But that doesn’t mean you get to act like you know

Don’t tell people I pulled through my depression

Because I haven’t

Don’t tell people I have taken the best from the situation

Because I haven’t

 

Don’t tell people I am not hurting physically

Because I am

Don’t tell people I am not hurting mentally

Because I am

Don’t tell people I am not stumbling

Because I am

 

Just stop acting like you know

Because the truth is

You dont
