You Don't Know Me...

By maximo

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

People only see what they want to see They don’t know me They don’t know what is going on What is going through my head What has happened What my family is like behind close doors It’s all an act My family is all an act My happy life is all an act And always has been People say, "you should be happy you have such a nice family" The thing is my family only helps others Others who are not in their family People don’t see what really happens People don’t know that my father crazy They don’t know he is one of those men who hurt me Who beat And you say I am lucky to have a family like this YA so we have money To me that means nothing There is a reason I don’t talk to them There is a reason I don’t let them into my life For I have never forgotten that night When I got hurt And had bruises from him I can't forget Not till the day I die~ Written March 13th, 2002 © on Mar 13 2002 12:47 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
