Nothing like me.

by Lacy   Oct 10, 2004


Don't tell me you understand
when you have no idea what I am going through.
You do not know my life
nor will you ever live it.
You had your mother raise you
I had my mother who I raised.
You had your brothers play with you
I had my brother violate me.
You had your father there.
I had my father put people first.
You smile because your happy
I smile to hide the hurt and pain i feel.
So see you are nothing like me
You will never know how hard it is.
Yes people go through things every day
and my life may not be as bad as other.
But take one minute to look at yourself...
and notice you are not looking at me.
