You Couldn't

What I see you couldn’t imagine,

What I think you couldn’t conceive.

What I feel you couldn’t endure,

And what I know you wouldn’t believe.



My truth you couldn’t handle,

My reality you couldn’t face.

My life would leave you speechless,

And my pain you couldn’t take.



My beliefs would overwhelm you,

My suffering would leave you empty.

You will never be able to figure me out,

And I will never be able to explain me.



My burden you couldn’t bare,

And to you my visions are a blur.

You could not see into my world,

You couldn’t comprehend things that occur.



My dreams to you would be nightmares,

And my nightmares to you would be dreams.

If I told you what I see in life,

It’d be like a reporter behind the scenes.



My garden you couldn’t eat from,

And my days would leave you in despair.

My shoes you could never walk in,

And you could never breath my air.
