the words inside my heart

for when they say they know what it's like

how can you act like you know my struggles

you do not bear my wounds

nor do you know the trouble it takes to try and heal them

you were never in my shoes

you are not me

i am not you

please

don't tell me how to care for my wounds

how to bandage them up

or how they should feel

BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON

and we feel differently

so even if you have wounds like mine

and have been in my shoes

you still don't the pain i bear 

you will never know how heavy my pain truly is until you are me
