They don't understand
They don't understand that
she smiles even when she wants to cry.
They don't understand that
she's not rude,
she's just tired of being judged.
They don't understand that
she's fighting every single day.
They don't understand
the burden she's been carrying
for so long.
They don't understand that
she's drowning slowly.
They don't understand that
she's not living,
she's just surviving.
They just see her,
but they don't understand.
