If Only You Knew

The hatred brewed up in someone’s mind comes flowing out
Catching a single ear,
Soon spreading down for all to hear
And making all truths into a doubt.

It’s that simple thought that changes it all
Making everyone point to laugh
Crushing you down; cutting you in half
Forcing you to fall.

You have no friends to watch your back
Noone will stand in your place
Noone will help you with your case
Just people who will attack.

Alone you imagine yourself to be
Without anyone
Or anything
And alone you try to flee.

Flee this cruel hateful place
Where there is noone here for you
But only if you knew
I would care if you were to end your race.
