You Don't Know Me

You say you want me friend
but you know not where I've been

The streets that I have walked
all the horrors I've been taught

I have no heart to give
have lied and stole just to live

I chose this path I'm on
so I'll live and die alone

The poem is awesome. Great job. It is short, but says everything necessary. I especially liked the last two lines. They summed up the whole poem very well.

  Thanks for commenting on "You Don't Know Me" Sometimes we fall in love and don't take the time to really know the other person! If you're lucky they will be open and honest with you as the girl in the poem was!

The third and fourth lines strike me hard in the heart as I can relate to them strongly, and the whole poem actually.
Great write

  Thanks for your comment on "You Don't Know Me" this was just my way of saying to look deeper than the surfuss cause what you see on the outside might be a conpletely different person living on the inside! We don't know what they've been through...
  
  Thanks again
