Do They Know?

I wonder if others know how hard we try to be the best that we can,

How hard to wake up each morning only to face the obstacles up ahead.

The constant battle of trying to balance everything,

And still make time for the people that are in our lives.

Do they know the sweat you put into everything?

The tears that drops whenever you are struggling.

The feeling of suffocation when you have had enough?

Do they know you are not perfect? 

They assume they know you, but you do not even know yourself.

They are proud of your accomplishments,

But turns their back on you when you choose a path that they do not approve of.

Do they know what makes you happy? 

Do they even care about your happiness? 

Or is it only about their expectations from you?

Do they know how hard it is to face them after words have been said that hurt you?

Do they know you are picky with the people you let into your lives?

Do they know you let go of anything or anyone that hurts you?

Do they know why you do what you do?

Do you ever wonder if they truly care and love you for who you are?
