They Don'T Know.. Poem by The pain of a last kiss

Don't you hate it
When people you don't know
Walks up to you and
And tells you that everything will be okay?

They don't know your life
They don't know the hell
They don't know how you cry
And pray it will be okay

They don't know about the hitting
The drinking
and the smoking

They don't know YOU
They don't know how you are called Mom
By little brothers that don't know
That you are their sister
That don't know that you love them,
Enough to take care of them everyday
Especially when 'Dad' won't do it.

People don't understand
Because their life is perfect
Perfect home
Perfect life
Perfect parents

You know what?
I have a Dad, yes.
Does he love me?
No.
My house?
It is clean because I clean it
My life?
What life...

I need someone to love me
I want to be someone's 'Only One'
But I can't.
I can't trust anyone.

When you talk to me,
I seem nice, normal, happy, sweet.
When you see my pictures
I seem cute, happy, full of life

When you REALLY talk to me
I am shy, different, depressed
When you REALLY see me
I am no smiles and have dark circles under my eyes.

Want to know why?
At 15, I am Mom
Not a teenager that fights with Mom
If only...

They don't know me...
