Understanding

You don’t show it
You think you know me
You don’t
You say you’ll be there for me
You aren’t
You say you will do all these things
You don’t

We Want


We want the wars to stop
But we play war games
We want peace
But we still fight
We want love
But we still hate
We want everyone to feel wanted
But we still look at people funny
We want understanding
But we still misunderstand other people
We Want
