Understand Me

Dear Mrs. X,

Righteous but a know it all

Only seeing your pain and hardships

Thinking you're always right

Questioning and judging my every mistake

Claiming that I don't love you

Well Dear Mrs. X,

Although you may take these words as immaturity

In the depth of my juvenile heart,

There is a sadness creeping in with each look in your eyes

There is a pain creeping in with knowing that you do not get me

As in these difficult moments of my life filled with uncertainty

I just want you to understand,

Understand me

You may take my behavior as a cry for help

But all I need and want is for you to understand,

Understand me

But I know these words won't reach you

Because there is no reason why I should be anything but happy

Since you do your best in providing for me

When you're the very one who told me sometimes our best is not enough

However, for some unknown reason, I want to reach out

As in this moment right now, I need no one but you

To hold and love me in comprehension

But when the time comes 

You fold your hands and step back with a frown on your face

When Dear Mrs. X,

I just want you to understand,

Understand me

You may take my actions as a cry for help

But all I need and want is for you to understand,

Understand me.
