Mom & Dad

You say you know me
And that I would never...
The scars and fresh cuts
You refuse to acknowledge
Because you know me
And know I would never...
The pain that causes my distress
You choose to ignore
How nice it must be
To live in your perfect world
My silent screams are bleeding
Right in front of you
But you turn away
Because you know me
And you know I would never...

Mom and dad, don't you see
You don't know me
You just know the person
I pretend to be

Author notes

Wrote this awhile ago, hope you like it. I think that all parents should listen to this because one of the most dangerous things in the world is a parent who only thinks they know their child.

    ooh wow..this is intense indeed.. i like it ..a lot..its sad but so beautifully written, it saddens me to know that people can ignore such obvious cries for help, even when the person is right in front of them, practically begging to be seen

    omg, this is about me! lol I have this same thought, all the time. People think I wouldn't but I do, and then when they do find out they act like it's not happening. Great write, thanks for sharing.
