If you understand me, how good it would be

Everyone has a blind spot,
Can't get out by themselves,
Others can't break in either.
I put my deepest secret there.
You don't understand me, I don't blame you.
Everyone has a wound,
Deep or shallow, covered with cloth, thinking it doesn't exist.
I put my most crimson blood there.
You don't understand me, I don't blame you.
Image
Everyone has a love affair,
With heart, with emotion, with effort, moved and hurt.
I hide my hottest feelings there.
You don't understand me, I don't blame you.
Everyone has a line of tears,
The cold water drunk, brewed into hot tears.
I gather my most heartbreaking grievances there.
You don't understand me, I don't blame you.
Image
Everyone has a confession,
Nervous, uneasy, but full of sincerity and courage.
I use the most lyrical language there.
You don't understand me, I don't blame you.
You will never see me when I love you the most,
Because I only love you when I can't see you.
Similarly, you will never see me when I am the loneliest,
Because I am only the loneliest when you can't see me.
Perhaps, I am too good at hiding my sadness.
Perhaps, I am too good at comforting my scars.
From rain to sunshine, I passed through mud, passed through wind.
Along the way, if you understand me, how good it would be.
