You'll Never Understand

You’ll never understand how it feels to be a woman

How much it hurts to have to let go at those moments

You’ll never know what went through my mind the day I gave you my everything

Or the idea of giving birth for the first time

How much it will hurt you will never imagine

To breastfeed this creature you will hardly know

To love it and not hate it for making me take time off

to let you have me those nights when I feel morbidly obese or worthless

The feeling I will get when you decide something else came first

yeah those thoughts you will never understand

The way you will assume I was seeing things but really those people did hate me

when I will have to balance family,career,and marriage

or better yet choose which one I will prioritize first

The ways I will be ridiculed or judgements I will come across on a daily basis

To comprehend when the world seems to be run by men

To know I will never be able to change the pay for women in this nation youll never understand

The struggle and pain of not loosing you or my mind,you probably wont understand.

But those are the situations that make me work harder so that maybe just maybe you will understand
