You don't know me

Sat, 10/05/2013 - 11:53 -- ofoyin

I come to class with a smile on my face

but you are unaware i sometimes cry before i go to sleep

you tell me to stop talking

but you don't know im trying to distrct myself from negative thought

 

you see kids crack jokes at me

but yet you sit at your desk oblivious to what im feeling

you yell at me for not doing my homework

but dont know i work to help support my mom

 

you talk about your family like you cant stand your life

but you dont understand how much i want your life

 

so dont look at me like you know me

like you know what im going through

because you will never know what it is or how it is to be me

no one ever will......
