You wouldn't know

You wouldn't know the pain I feel because you haven't been in my shoes.
You don't care to hear so how could you know?
Do you care at all? I wouldn't know because you don't bother to tell.

You wouldn't know the pain I felt thinking my father didn't care.
He was never in my life growing up so how would anyone know.
Did he care then? I'll never truly know.

You don't know the pain I felt never ever experiencing a father daughter dance.
My mom would spare me that pain by not making me go.
She couldn't find it in herself to see her child just watch the other girls twirl with their dads.

You'll never know the pain I felt going through Father's Day.
Seeing your cousin giving your uncle his gifts as you wish you could have a father to give a gift too.
But the joy you felt when he called you his own child and he loved you.

You'll never know the pain I felt to feel neglected by someone who help create you.
The day you ask your mom if you'd get to be married because you don't have a dad to walk you down the isle.

You'll never know the pain I felt when my mom told me to stop drawing because that's not something you'll get money for.
Oh you where amazing got awards for it but you got your talent from you dad.
You don't want to end up like him do you?
But who was he exactly?

You'll never know the pain I felt when I was told that I wasn't black enough because my dad was white.
That sweet elementary school girl hanging out with the white kids that didn't mind the color of her parents.

You'll never know the pain I felt being picked on because of my weight and being of a mixed race.
She thinks she's better than anyone they said, but she really didn't.
Reasons why she hates bullies now and stops it when she sees it happening.

You'll never know the pain I felt being called fat by my own mom.
No one wants a fat model she said and puts you on a diet.
It was your dream so you don't complain.

You'll never know the pain I felt when I eventually started starving myself to get so skinny.
That's how that chunky little girl got to a size zero.
Good thinking she had friends who cared and put it to an end when they found out.

You'll never know the pain I felt being chastised by girls saying I'm spoiled.
That same spoiled little girl was homeless part of her seventh grade year.
She went without and helped as much as she could to get were she is today.

You'll never know the pain I felt having to move again when my mom lost her job.
The place they were living at was the only place she was happy everyday.
Not being picked at by uncomfortable flaws.
Having new friends she only knew for months to stop her bad habit.

You'll never know the pain I felt when I really liked a guy in eighth and he disappeared.
Come to find out over break he had to go to jail and did tell you because he didn't want you to worry.
But when he got back he went out with another girl saying you're too sweet and deserve someone better.
Of course you was hurt.
