I don't Care

I asked to speak to a young lady that I knew

I heard her mother graduated out of Harvard and because she was the smartest in her class went to Peru

I came expecting boasting but I didn't have a clue

That she was hurting with the current absence of her mother

She's not the type to take problems and share them with another

She'd rather bare them alone, a solitary weight on her shoulders

Which leads to what I told her

I said with much haste, I care not for her issues

For your tears, for your peers that yell and scream that they miss you

I do care however that your attitude has been humbled

Now I can relate, now we can share the struggle
