"you're so kind"
"You're so understanding"
I wonder if you know how much violence it took to make me this kind
How much brute force it took
To be this understanding
No one took the time to understand me
So I make it a point to understand everyone else
I'll lick your wounds
Because I'm still scarred
It's exhausting
To shove myself in everyone's shoes
I can't help it
I guess old habits die hard
I can't stop
Maybe if I could heal everyone else's wounds
I'd be able to heal
My own
