ME

Don’t say you know me

If you haven’t run 

A few miles in my shoes

If you haven’t been 

To the places I have been

Seen the things I have seen

Don’t say you can read me

If you haven’t felt the pain I’ve felt

If you haven’t experienced my 

My joys and sorrows

If you haven’t ridden the roller coaster 

That I have been on

Riding the highs and low of life

Don’t say you know me

If you haven’t felt my fears

If you haven’t experienced my anxiety

The things that stress me

That leaves in tears

The heartbreaks and heartaches

The cold loneliness 

If you haven’t seen me at my lowest

Ans base your assumptions 

Just on what you see

Don’t say you can see through me

If you haven’t felt the darkness I’ve felt

If you haven’t felt the confusion I’ve felt

If you haven’t been through 

The struggles that I have gone through

the conflicts that make me loose my mind

That drive me crazy 

Don’t say you know my life

If you haven’t seen me hurt

Haven’t heard me cry in anguish

Don’t claim you know my life

If you don’t know where I am coming from

If you don’t know where I am going to

Cause that something i don’t know

So how would you know

Don’t say I am an open book

If you don’t know my inner secrets

The demons that I hold at bay

The fears that’s keeps me awake

The dark places I have been in

Don’t call me imperfect 

If you haven’t seen my scars

And know how the reason 

Behind their existence 

If you don’t know the reason

For my brokenness

Cause i am way more deeper

And not shallow 

As you assume me to be

You don’t know who I am

Cause I myself don’t know this ME

Someone I am discovering everyday 

Someone evolving every step of the way

Someone being influenced 

Being moulded and shaped 

With every experience 

So if I don’t know this ME

How can you claim to know ME
