Analysis of They Don’t Know
Audrey Lowe 1970 (Tarlac)
They don't know what I am feeling.
They don't know what I am going through.
They don't know what I am thinking.
They just know I am okay.
They can say what they want.
They can mock and judge me.
They think they are always right.
But they don't know I am not alright.
Just be quiet and don't talk back.
Just accept it is your fault.
But deep inside you are not well.
That you want to be hear out.
They don't know what's in your mind.
That your body want to survive and keep living.
But your mind tries and want to die.
They don't know you are helpless.
Things happened in your life in the past
Make you feel all this. But no one cares.
No one see. They just know you are fine.
Hoping one day they will listen and care.
