You think ‘cause I live in A pretty house I don’t feel pain and haven’t felt things that leave scars? There’s more than my happy smile that meets your eye. Been told “I wish I aborted you”, seen her convulse on the kitchen floor. Caught her with men, caught her with women, and watched her walk away without regrets. I’ve been lied to, manipulated, and abandoned. So don’t cry to me and tell me you wish you had my life. You don’t know me. I’m not exempt.

You Don't Know Me
