They don't understand

My legs run red,

Screams are in my head.

I try to shout loud

But no one in the crowd

Would understand why

Nor my need to cry.

They ignore the pain in my eyes

And the scars on my thighs.

They shut out the real life

And anything with a knife.

The world is pretty

And everything bad is just "such a pitty".

They don't understand the gain

I get every day from the pain.

Do you understand me?

And the fact I will never be free?
