You Don't Understand Me


You don't understand me.

Although you say you do.

You don't see what I see 

And I know that's true.

 

You don't think like me.

Stop comparing my thoughts.

It's not the same, how we came to be.

Don't patronize all the things I've fought.

 

You don't understand my body.

I can't afford to eat all the things you do.

I'll never tell you that it bothers me.

Because I can't stand the over-reaction you persue.

 

You can't understand that I'm poor.

I can't spend a lot of money.

I don't want to explain myself anymore

You don't understand me.

 

Stop thinking like you do.
