YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ✍️✨️

Till you've walked that lonely road,

Till you've carried that burdensome load,

Till you've climbed that tall, steep hill

Till you've known 'Life never goes according to your will',

Till you've shed a million tears,

Till you've faced many countless fears,

Till you've weathered some turbulent storms,

Till you've changed too much, to care about the norms,

Till you've so often cried yourself to sleep,

Till you've experienced pain, that runs too deep,

Till you've known that 'All' that you own, are merely 'Just Things',

Till you've lost that warmth and genuine concern, that 'Only Real Family' brings,

Till you've tried each day to 'Smile some More',

Till you've questioned so much, you can't keep score,

Till you've made sure you built up so many walls,

Till you've left unanswered, hundreds of calls,

Till you've hidden in a shell, choosing when you want to peep,

Till you've gone ten steps forward, yet back to 'the Comfort of Silence' you creep,

I could go on, cause 'Writing' is the way I choose to Heal, to Grow,

But even if you read every word, 'Till you really know, You'll Never Know'. ✍️

Sometimes, people and experiences hurt or upset you so much, that it all just explodes, in outpourings like these verses.

'Thoughts Expressed' don't mean you're Obsessed or Depressed;
But 'Feelings' have to come out 'Somewhere'.✨️
(Better out here than stuck within.)
