“I know what you are going through..”

As  they all say

when we go through things

that life throws our way

we look at them

dismayed

if only they understood the

reality, of things

things as in our own

perspective on life and

our “situations”

they would only understand that

they do not understand

Anything.

I write to tell you

that no, fortunate, and unfortunately, no

you do not understand the temptations

the withdrawals, the life, the pain

the triumphs

life has granted to this particular

life.

Thanks, but no thanks

take your pity elsewhere

where someone else

cares

enough

to respond in your

blank conversations.
