I Guess I Dont Know You Poem by Michelle Schmidt

I guess I truly don’t know you
You put on an act
So you can attract the people all around you
But when were alone
And when were at home
You lie, you yell, you deceive
I cry, I run
There’s no where to go
This is my home
My home of lies and deceit
I guess I truly don’t know you
Or at least I don’t any more
I thought you were sweet once apon a time
But that was way before
I have sweet memories of the old tender soul
That you once kept inside
My anger is strong, I can no longer control
The thoughts of leaving you behind
Far behind in the back of my mind
Stop bringing this strife
And leave me alone
Get out of my life
This is no longer my home
