This came out of nowhere

You think you know me

But you don't know a thing

You didn't live what I live

You haven't seen what I've seen

You think I'm so confident

I'm outgoing, and loud

The truth is that I'm strong, and yes

Very proud

You think me obnoxious

I talk way to much

But I just found my voice

And I can't say enough

You think me stuck up

Attitude all the way

It's really just a front

I'm not really that way

You think me a vixen

A little brown fox

I'm really just a puppy

Alone, scared and lost

You think me sophisticated

Been around the world and back

But the whole time it happened

My life was way off track

You think me a liar

It never happened to me

But I know the truth

I'm always remembering

I wish I could forget

The Hell I've been through

I wish I didn't 

Have to prove anything to you

You think me a trickster

A jester, a fake

But you didn't see

How we barely escaped

Try not to judge

For you know not what I've been through

And you can say whatever you want

After you do

there is a little piece of us in everyone and everyone in us, and the sooner we all realise this the better off the world will be. this is a very strong and clever write and, introspective as it may seem it has a lesson for everyone within. well done!

A lovely reflection of the sage advice that one must walk in the shoes of someone else before true understanding is achieved.

I don't know you, quite true, except through each word
that you write there lies a great truth.

i feel you my friend... as i also knew this feelings very well... i think everyone can relate to it at some point of our lives... for everyone judge what they see.. but some just don't care what they say... they lack the understanding and care what comes out of their mouth... great expressed thoughts my friend!
