You Have No Idea

You have no idea what its like to be me
people think they can read you like a book
just because you cover your wrists
sometimes I wish they would take a second look

You have no idea what’s wrong in the world
you think it's all fighting a war
but have you considered the hatred endured
by people who are dying internally more and more

You have no idea how strong you can be
not just physically but mentally too
the childhood saying of 'sticks and stones'
to many people isn't always that true

You have no idea how others feel
you don't consider the harshness of words
how far one small smile can go
towards one feeling free as a bird
