Do they even understand

I ask myself do they even understand
As I sat here on this bus
They look at me and hide their eyes
They see a girl with her brothers
hand'me down clothes
hair pulled back, all unkempt
shoes too big, too old
But they don't know it
I have no other choice
It just me and my brother and dad (If thats what you call him)
Dad stays home and drinks
He has no job because he chose not to have one
My brother takes care of me
He trys so hard, but he just can't do it all by himself
My brother says I will be the greatest thing
Dad says I will go to college
How we will pay for it, I don't know
Do they even understand
I don't want anything
I don't want to be the greatest thing, or even getting to go to college
All I want is to be called
Daddy little girl
My little sis
And the most of all is Mommy little girl
Will they ever understand
