"Do You Know?"
Do you know what it’s like to not say a word?
Do you know what it’s like to hide from the world?
Do you know what it’s like to listen to sit and listen,
to everyone talking about what happened to this one?
I know what it’s like
I’ve been there a lot
I was the one asking him to stop
I was the one afraid to tell
Afraid that he would go to jail
Afraid my daddy would kill him straight out
Afraid that all my friends would find out.
Then I told, but I told the wrong person
She told my mom
Because she knew I was hurting
Now it doesn’t matter it’s out in the open
But the problem is that people think I’m just joking
Now sense you’ve read this you know how I feel
You know what I’ve been through all of the years
So please if you see me get up and leave
Don’t get offended just leave me be
It’s times like this I need to be alone
to think about what happened
and why I feel so alone.
Do you know how I feel?
Am I alone?
