YOU DON'T KNOW ME

you Don't Know Me

 

YOU DON’T KNOW ME

 

When you assumed what type of person

I was yours was an uninformed conclusion.

 

When you looked at me as a child you saw poverty

and frailty yet you turned the other cheek.

 

When you saw me as a teenager in profound

sadness you didn’t try to assist me.

 

When you look at me as an adult it is with

your deepest prejudice yet.

 

What I see today is a life full of lies forced

upon me because you don’t know me!
