Believe Me

'Believe me' It's the disbelief that I most hate Being told that I exaggerate When life's already so unfair I know most people hardly care Whether it's pain I share or my lack of sleep Most my woes; don't share I keep Finally I think you understand Till you dismiss me once more with a flick of your hand Won't you try, just pretend to believe When I share with you my heart on sleeve Not many I love know real me Yet to 'strangers' online I at last feel free It's true no one will share my blues Unless they walk a mile in my shoes 'Believe me' ~ by Victoria Payne
