What do you think this poem is about?

Do You Know What It Is?

You are right
I don't know about war
I don't know about injustices
I don't know about hunger
I don't know about poverty
but do you know what it is
not to know about these?

I have a life
different from yours
I have dreams
different from yours
I have struggles
different from yours
Have you ever wonder
what are they?

Do you know what it is...
do you know what it is...
to live a life
that is always compared to yours?
