I Cannot Understand

June 1, 2020

I cannot understand
the life you've lived
how my world looks to you
what you go through every day

I cannot understand
what it's like to be you
to feel the pain you've endured
to suffer the same injustice as you

I cannot understand
the judgment others pass on you
the doubt and fear around you
the indignation inside you

I cannot understand
but I'll stand with you all the same
because I know it's wrong
and I want to help make it right
