What Is It Like

Do you know what it's like,
to be pushed around with words;
to be told you're always wrong;
and to never be heard?

This is what it's like,
when you're always being put down.
When you're told you're not real.
When you can never make a sound.

You start to belive the story,
that your life is just a lie.
That you are a sociopathic liar,
that it's always fake when you cry.

You feel that you don't deserve,
any sort of life.
You are always told you are a liar,
and that you've never used the knife.

You contemplate your worth.
You make sure you never cry.
You hide all of your cuts,
because you're told it's all a lie.

This is what it's like,
to never be heard.
To think you're just a liar.
Whatever you say is absurd.

You feel you should be quiet.
Then you won't be scared.
Otherwise you're yelled at.
This is an awful lot to bear.

I hope you never know what it's like,
to feel the way I do.
I hope you never have to know,
exactly what I go through.

When this happens to me,
I contemplate my worth.
I stay very silent.
I start to regret my birth.

If this ever happens to you,
don't be silent like me.
Use your voice to ask for help.
Use your voice to set you free.
