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!
