you don't understand


You

Dont

Understand

How another person feels

Until you have gone through

Exactly what they have

You don't understand their hurt

Sadness

Anger

Or any other feelings that they have

Don't say you understand

When you know you don't

You don't know how i feel

You don't have a father who is happy and funny

Until he's with his girlfriend

Then he's angry and mean

Who had a baby with a woman he doesn't love

And now cant get out of the relationship

Too scared to lose his two year old son

You don't have a mother

Who would carry the world

On her small frail shoulders

Just for you

So that you wouldn't have to

But used to not be able to see you

Because of one bad decision

Or maybe you do

That's the thing though

I don't know you
Yet you know my innermost thoughts

All of my feelings

And past relationships

Why

I guess we'll never know

I'm a 14 year old not-so-happy poet who doesn't know what she's doing with her life. If you think I can do better with my poems plz leave a comment. Almost all of my poems are about one person btw so if you're seeing like repeating feelings thats why. Also my snapchat is @chknnuggs4life so add me I guess.
