Different Views On Life Poem by mona martinez

you see a strong girl fighting through,
I see a girl try to excape,
you see me taking life as it comes,
I see me as bearly passing by,
when are you going to see,
what I see,
life not all full of rainbows and butterflies,
my world filled with demons,
your world well lit,
mine is dark and angry,
can you see?
we are not the same,
you can't understand my pain,
just like I will never understand yours,
I wish you did,
than you can see,
what I see,
and feel what I feel,
but, you can't!
you can only imagine,
I can be on fire,
but that still won't match the pain I feel inside,
I can punch a wall,
but my anger will remain the same,
I can pull my hair out,
but my frustration still won't ease,
and you will never truely see,
the things I face on an everyday basis.
