I speak differently,
mature beyond my years.
you would never understand.
I love with a passion,
possessive and with-holding.
you would never understand.
I fear things,
things that are yet so normal.
you would never understand.
I speak truth,
things people do not want to hear.
you would never understand.
I only want happiness,
something I can never grasp.
you would never understand.
I want everything to be in order,
but my life is a mess.
you would never understand.
I try so hard to please,
but it always comes out wrong.
you would never understand.
I stammer and blush,
a nervous wreck.
you would never understand.
I try to think of myself,
myself as others see me.
I don't understand.
They think I'm wonderful,
something I do not see.
I can't understand.
I have always wanted,
wanted to be with you.
Do you understand?
I found...
found that you love me for me.
I will never understand.
