You Don't Know Me Written 9-3-2004

Why me?
You don't know me
Why must I be your enemy
What you see when you look at me
Isn't always what you get.
am like an onion No I dont not smell
But I have layers upon layers
Each as unique as the other which I may never tell
What have I done to make you point and laugh
And act as if im not thereLike I don't feel your stare
Although I say I don't care
Sometimes I feel despair
I want to yell and say something vile
But I remind myself I am not a child
I am the bigger person I exclaim!
I know one day you'll feel ashamed
