What do you think this poem is about?

Can you understand?

Can you understand?
Where I have been?
Can you close your eyes and image the humilation I have put myself through?
Can you understand?
The depth of my shame and guilty that plagued my life from birth
Can you understand?
I am new
Can you understand?
The struggle to stay in my serenity
Can you understand?
My faith
Can you understand?
I am me who I have dreamed of being
Can you understand?
