You Will Never Understand
Why I got bad grades in school
Why I don’t care about the news
Why I listen to inappropriate rap
Why I smoked cigarettes
Why I want to be skinnier
Why I dress differently
Why I like my curtains closed
Why I do drugs
Why I pull my hair
Why I hang with a strange gang
Why I cry randomly
Why I drive fast
Why I stay home at night
Why I hate everyone in my grade
Why I can’t stop cleaning
Why I overeat
Why I purge
Why I don’t pay attention to time
Why I get moody
Why I don’t eat
Why I lock myself in my room
Why I love so easily
Why I always get hurt
Why I like attention
Why I love someone no one else can
Why I make mistakes
Why I change my mind
Why I want to run away
Why I love art
Why I’m sensitive
Why I am the way I am
Because you haven’t walked in my shoes
Because you can’t see from a different angle
Because you’re only concerned with your own.
