Understanding - To mum

[emilyjenk]

You can be hard-
but you are yet so kind.
I know that you are bitter,
I know you still don't understand.

Do you know where you are going?
Where it has all gone...
Do you look back with regret?
Or for some reason
Still continue to look forward.

What do you expect from the world;
from it all.
Are you happy with your achievements?
You gave me my life.
And although it is sometimes
Sometimes so difficult,
I do appreciate you
More than you know.

I am still so young
Yet I have already left.
There is so much you don't know,
That you will probably never know.

Will I ever be aware of what you went through
Of how the past has damaged you.
You think I cannot understand
That somehow I am unable to.

But we are both locked rooms,
The keys are never to be changed.
To look inside even for a moment.

No! you cannot understand
You look at everything so differently,
I want you to
But you cannot!

I hope you want me to be there
That you longed for my existence
But when I finally came
We somehow got lost.

You are trapped in yourself
I know you think I am uncapable
Uncapable
of Understanding.

Just as I think you are.

Have you ever realised
That we are both the same.

"But we are both locked rooms,
The keys are never to be changed.
To look inside even for a moment."

That part's not bad, and the last two lines at the end. But I don't really have anything to say about the rest of it.

The beginning started off really strong and then the voice changed. The "no's" and exclaimation marks weren't as effective as you were hoping, possibly. This:

"Do you know where you are going?
Where it has all gone"

--is lovely though.
