So tell me, do you understand?
Well I sure don't.
maybe its for the best if I don't.
They say the happiest people in the world, know nothing.
Is that how it is with me?
I would rather know & be hurt than not know & be clueless.
So I'm trying to understand.
Everyone around me is trying to protect me.
I wish they knew,
I'm stronger now.
I've learned how to cope.
I promise,
just tell me.
Tell me whatever it is


&
I'll understand <3
