Do you think you know me?
No you don't
no one knows who I am anymore
I've changed
I'm different
And I'm tired of the criticism
You impale me with painful words
Only because I am nothing like you
Only because I am different
Only because I am not the same as everyone else
My 'so-called' friends don't say a word
they're quiet, shy
afraid to speak up against them
or maybe they agree
'No one likes you'
I hear that from you
I don't care what you think
Do you think I like you?
The answer is no
What you say is not going to affect me in the future
I won't have to deal with you in 5 years
Just go away
Leave me be
For everyone who doesn't know me
Do not try
For you will never actually know
the real me

Hello Nicole, it fascinates me how quickly young people mature nowdays. At 14, I wouldn't have the merest notion of love, except for my parents and my older brother. I guess the distance of 60 years makes a quantum leap of difference? All the best, Jerry
