Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ The Complete Aaronson ❯ Understanding ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

You Don't Understand

You don't understand

What it's like to be in the corner

Facing down the biggest kid in school

Who's calling you names

And you just want to scream

But all that seems to come out of you mouth

Is a whole lot of nothing.

You don't understand

What it's like to have a bad day

And it's your hundredth bad day in the last week

And eventually you can't take it anymore

And you have nothing else to do

But take it out on the guy next to you

And you do stuff you never meant to do

And you say stuff you never meant to say

And you want to say sorry

But you don't think that they'll forgive you.

You don't understand

To watch the bully from the sidelines

Taking down the littler kid

And you want to make it stop

You want to tell them that it's not right

But all you can seem to do

Is stop and stare.

I'd be much better

If all these people

Realized that someone out there

Understands.
