They Never Really Understand

Sometimes people understand
Sometimes they never will
Sometimes you can try your best
But their judgment remains still

Maybe you just can't help it
Maybe you really try
Maybe it just feels like
Every day's another lie

Do you blame yourself?
Are you that ashamed?
That as you walk through your life
You are whipped and tamed

If judgment looms at every corner
Why do you still run?
There's no way to escape it,
Once it has begun

Perhaps you will stay quiet
And never speak a word
So everything inside of you
Will just remain unheard.

*This poem was meant to be something that anyone can relate a problem to, that's why I chose not to name a specific thing. So take it in your own way. Because trust me, even though my problem isn't the same, I know where you're coming from.*
