You know some people, I be like man! It's like they just don't understand. But the truth is they never did. I just imagined it all turned a blind eye to all they did, a deaf ear to every hurtful word. I "forgot" all the times they would just use me and It's like they're dense as a forest... so dense they can't see me who I've become and who I want to be. They say they support me, but they don't know me. They don't know my aspirations and they don't get my dreams. But I've been hurt over and over again by people who claim to be real, but then time always tells, you see.

Do you see what I mean? All they know is that she's that smart girl. The one everyone academically is trying to beat. I mean seriously, ask someone to describe me. But I keep tryin' to get them to see that there's more to me. But it's only a few who care enough to cut back a few trees. But I see through them now like a glass pane, through the broken pieces, me! See all they've done and all the damage inflicted on me! See that I hurt! See that I cry? It's like an out of body, out of mind kind of thing. I know now what's good for me. I feel like there's nobody who really knows me. But here's the thing, I'll just pick up the pieces...and do me watch me do me! Ya'll act like just cause I fall mean I won't rise again. But I will and you'll see...that you missed out on being friends with me... 'cause by then it will be too late.You'll have just... missed it.

My train.
