Understand
January 2, 2020
You don’t understand me
You tell me I’m dramatic
Or that I’m overreacting
But I don’t know how I overreact
When you are the one in jail
I don’t know how I’m dramatic
When you are the purpose for it all
You don’t know the pain
When people say your name
You don’t know the pain
When other people speak about their dad
I’m a mess because of you
So, yea Dad
Thanks for understanding me

It is a poem about what I was feeling at the moment. The feelings that I had have shifted and some have gone away but it is a snapshot of feelings.
