I did not understand the world
for the longest time
you did not understand that
if you did, why didn't you help?
why is it, every day I thought
it was normal to be treated that way
why did you make me forget
that I am a valid person
with valid feelings
just like you
you thought you were on
some other level of human than I
didn't you?
why did you make me feel the things I did?
sometimes I wish I knew what you were thinking
your name left a bad taste in my mouth
or maybe that was just the dirt
seeing you made my stomach ache
maybe that was just the punches
I'll never know
but what I do know is
you had no right to do the things you did
to take away a part of my life
