You don’t understand me
But that’s okay
no one does
You don’t know me
but that’s okay
no one knows what’s deep inside
If you took a peek into my mind
you’d feel like you were branded
like a cow
being lead to the slaughter
and I’d never wish that on anyone
so when you try and tell me
the horrible stories
you think you know
I don’t care
because you’ll never know
what this is like
what it’s like to be tainted
what it’s like to be me
what it’s like to live this experience
daily
over and over
but do you know what?
That’s okay
I don’t want you to
I’d never wish it
on my worst enemy
except
my worst enemy
is me

I want you to hold me tight
I want you to touch me softly
I want you to be gentle with my heart
but most of all
I want you
