I don't understand

Location

Some people say
That they understand the world
But maybe, I'm just that one girl
Who still doesn't get it.

Like I don't understand
Why make up is such a big deal to girls
The guy who truly loves you
Will see you without make up anyway

I don't understand
Why people make fun of other people
And then cry in the end
When they push them to the edge

I don't understand
Why there is so much death
But people only focus on deaths
Of those who are famous

I don't understand
What it means to be in love
Because our culture
Has given it so many meanings

But in reality,
There's no way these can be truly answered

Girls will still wear makeup
People will still bully
People will still die
And people will pretend they love

It's the way of life.
