You look at me and think you know me.
Know what it feels like when nothing in your life ever goes alright.
When nothing goes as planed you don’t even feel damned.
No child should be forced to give up on their dreams just because you don’t know what No means.
I’m a child, I should be out playing with my friends
Not in my room wanting my life to end.
I don’t get it but when mommy and daddy come home they’re really mad. So they hit me even though I wasn’t bad.
They hit me until their strength is gone. Even when I didn’t do anything wrong.
Then later daddy comes in and tells me he loves me.
Daddy’s really strong. He over powers me. I try to fight back but daddy doesn’t stop.
My body begins to hurt and I began to bleed.
When I wake up the next morning they act like everything’s alright, as I try to hid the pain from last night.
Then I go to school and play an act that has fooled people like you for years.
So you think you know me. Try a day in my shoes but I don’t think their fit because mommy and daddy make me feel this big.
