They say you don't understand, your life is perfect. But they don't understand. On the outside I live in a fairy-tale world where my parents live together and my father has a job and I am a straight a student. I have a house and food and I have siblings and people all around me. They say I don't have a reason to be sad but what they don't understand is the mirror is my worst enemy and I hate myself. I hate myself so much and no one really knows or loves me. I have see the blade at 2 AM and I have cried so hard I wanted to throw up. I have ripped open my leg just so I have some type of feeling. I have trust issues and apparently I should be in a mental institute. I scream at myself and beg for death to over take me. They say I don't understand but I do. I understand how it is to fake laughs and smiles all day, to be exhausted and wanting sleep so the bad feelings go away but not being able to. I understand the fear of your shorts slipping and someone might see and I know the feeling of loneliness and I know of begging God to help you but no one comes. I understand how hard this life really is even if I don't show it.

They Say I Don't Understand
