this was an english assignment in 2008 .. to write a poem about
By Amber •
You say you know me,
But you really have no idea.
Who do I love ?
No, not him, but another person
A special one, one I'd do anything for
But you don't know.
You think I have a perfect family
Or one with normal sibling or parent-child fights,
But you don't know about the other stuff.
You don't know the thoughts that cross my mind,
The memories that I wish were more than just memories.
You don't understand how I wish he knew.
You don't know what I want to do in the future.
You don't see that I try to have a smile plastered on my face every day,
But when I'm alone in my room I'll break down and cry for hours.
Which is why I write ;
So I can get all my thoughts out
Because there's things you don't know about me.
So next time you're about to say "Yeah, I know her"
Think twice, and say
"I know of her",
Because you really have no idea.
