How dare you
How dare you judge me
From my whatsapp status
Filtered Snapchat pictures
Careless Facebook post
Emotionless instagram comments
Who said you’d know from my write ups
When you haven’t walked in my shoes
How do you think you’d know where it hurts
You haven’t felt the never ending rapid heartbeats
The late night panic attacks
You haven’t seen the scars across my laps
Sunk deep into the hole in my soul
You haven’t heard my demons scream
You haven’t tried calming them by saying “I’m fine”
How dare you
How dare you think you know me so well enough to point those hypocritical fingers at me
Fight my battles
Survive in my skin
Deal with my issues then judge me
