MisUnderstood!!!

How people judge you based on exterior things, yet not knowing circumstance.

MisUnderstood!

Michael Jackson sung a song

"Have you seen my childhood"

I haven't seen mine since the age of 6

Everything was perfect...

I lived my life

The way the average kid lived there life of fun and no worries

After the age of 7

I seen physical abuse towards my mother

I became a victim of mental, sexual abuse in the eyes of a man

who was not my father, yet my mothers boyfriend

With who i became to resent as well as hate

I wanted to run away from home

Instead was taken away by a social worker

I loved my mother so much i didnt want to leave her

My job was to protect her at all cost

But My place was to be a KID

Hating the man that changed my life forever

I was also ostracized by my peers for growing up physically too fast

Instead of having real friends that were loyal

I made up my friends through with my imagination

My socialization skills at school was an ongoing grade of a "N" (Needs improvement)

The rest of my grades were "E" meaning excellent

One minute i had a friend

Next minute the friend disappeared

My mother didnt understand why

I locked myself away from the world

Friends meant nothing to me if they couldn't be loyal

Later on my behavior of detachment  and outgoing

Was labled "biolar" to others

They didnt know when to get close to me

Or when it was time to walk away

It was all based on my "MisunderStood" behavior

Some say......

The old saying is "never judge a book by its cover"....read it first

You may even find a piece of yourself in it...if you took all this time to judge me

Get to know me and understand i'm not perfect

Judge me and i will keep you at arms length

As a whole I'm often MisunderStood
