What you need to understand is
the same thing that the world needs to understand.
I grew up with everything.
I grew up in need of nothing.
I had everything I needed,
I could get everything I wanted without a hassle.
According to some,
I had it all.
If I wanted the moon,
I'd get it.
If I wanted a diamond
that shines brighter than the sun,
I'd get it.
But,
I was broken inside.
I needed more than material things.
I was longing for warm hands to hold my broken parts.
I was looking for a smile in the dark.
I was looking for something
I didn't even know.
I was in a home of dark and broken people,
looking for happiness.
I'm completely broken.
And so is every one around me.
All I needed was someone to heal me.
But, you don't understand that,
you can't relate to my pain...
or can you?
can you come and be broken with me?
