The worst feeling
Is being a human in this world
And being misunderstood
By the ones you love.

You are one with yourself,
Picking up your feet
And bringing them to one destination
To the other.

Your experiences are like a snowflake
Different from others in every way.

But when you build yourself off
From those places and events,
You become something.
Someone.
Human.
Different.

The ones you love watch it happen.
But they don't actually see it.
Or feel it.

They become to misunderstand you.

Because when you stand there
Naked with your words,
They tell you,what they think you are.
They tell you, "you don't understand." They tell you all the things you thought you weren't.
They tell you all the things that burn the fire that was long dead many years ago creating a devastation in its wake.

I'm alive and I'm breathing,
And you tell me:
"You don't understand."
