Don\'t tell me

by I.Dont.Own.Emotion.I.RENT.   Dec 2, 2005


Don't tell me you know how i feel
because i know you really don't
Don't tell me everything will be ok
cuz how do you know it won't?

don't tell me i should stop cutting
cuz you just don't understand
you've never had a bleeding wrist
with a razor in your hand

don't tell me i should be happy
cuz you don't know how it is to have a smile that's fake
or to be weighed down with so much depression
that you don't know how much more you can take

don't tell me i have a great life
cuz there's so much more you don't see
so don't tell me what i should or shouldn't do
cuz you don't know what its like to be me.

    The flow was awesome hun. I just recently read a book a bout depression (to try and understand why people were treating me the way they were:'(]...and it said that from the outside..other people, see our actions, being depressed as selfish etc, like what you described in your poem. A way to prevent that, because it's hurtful to everyone, is via communication. anyway..
    i hope you're bub, and know that even though u think that u are totally alone, other people, do feel..exactly the same.
    Chin up hun
