i understand what you mean

when you want quiet
so you can listen to your own
bass driven anger

i understand what you mean

when a perfect day
full of sunshine
and butterflies
feels like mockery
and neglect

i understand what you mean

why you hate people
who serves your food
and cleans your yard
and fixes your internal
broken tire

i understand what you mean

when you look for comfort
from someone else
for selfish pain
that dwell inside

but what i don't understand
is why i get it

and why people try their best
to reassure us
that they get it too

and why we think
they're wrong

and how it makes us feel
like we understand
nothing
