Dont judge me for the things you do not know
The looks I never gave you - the feelings I dont show
The weakness Ive hidden inside - afraid to set it free
If you knew I wasnt strong - you could take advantage of me
Dont judge me for the words youve never heard
The straight and narrow path I led - you think Ive never swerved?
You stand back high and mighty - as though youve been through more
My life was always easy right? A closed window - opened door?
I wish that you could know the past, the things that Ive been through
The times my life was full of pain and tears - when I wished I could start anew
Close your eyes and imagine - a life you never cared to know
The years that went by painfully - the years that went by slow
Could you ever imagine being beaten and raped?
Lying there at thirteen years old - full of so much shame
Losing friends and family - it seemed another every day
How does one go on with life - without giving up along the way?
Im not sure what you think you know - but its nothing about my life
Where I live - who my parents are - it doesnt keep me from strife
So next time that you want to judge me about what you think Ive been through
Take a step back and realize - Im much different than you!
