Nobody Understands

They say they do 

Sometimes they listen 

Sometimes they’re present 

Sometimes it’s soothing 

Sometimes I want the distraction. 

---

Does anybody really understand?

“Trust me I’ve been there”

“I can imagine” 

—But can you really? 

---

Nobody understands 

And I don’t know that I want them to.

Experiences that I cannot share 

Realities that their thoughts wouldn’t dare 

Stories that’ll make them fear 

At least that’s what I think.

---

This path I’ve chosen is lonely 

This cross I have to carry is heavy 

These people I’m with don’t know me

—The voice of my past keeps echoing

Who can relate to my struggles?

Who knows the walk & the hustle?

Or does it not matter?

---

New Man In Christ 

Should I sweep those experiences under the rug?

Or should I nail the thoughts to the cross?

Is there a peculiarity to my situation?

Or is it pride talking?

When I’m in these cross roads 

I don’t fully understand 

And I feel ashamed to share, because I think 

Nobody understands.

---

Ohh sweet Jesus Help me

Save me from myself 

I don’t even understand 

And sometimes I stop trying.

When I’m ready to give up 

You comfort me

You take me on a walk 

You show me purpose 

And You help me to understand.
