I Know Me

I am aware of what i look like.
I am in 'the know' of all that i am,
I know me.

You fail to realize that your words, 
Are sharp, piercing and toxic.
Toxic and damaging to the ears; the heart.

Do you understand that your words, pierce flesh?      
Do you understand that your words hurt?

Do you comprehend, the words i speak?         
I know me, i know that i am what you see.
I know.
