YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME, by Emily A

You think that you know me,

That you see me from all sides

But the truth? That’s only skin-deep.

Your truth is only lies.

The truth you seek is further,

Deeper than your words of hate.

Here lies me — the real me

And her sufferings are great.

So what if I’m weird?

I’m just being myself.

So what if I’m a nerd?

I make use of my bookshelf.

So what if I’m not pretty?

At least it isn’t fake.

So what if I seem snobby?

I’m just quiet, for Pete’s sake!

You really think you know me

Throwing insults down the hall,

But the truth? You know nothing.

Not a thing. Not at all.

You think that I’m a freak,

But the truth? I’m not.

It’s called being a human being.

How to act like one?

—– It seems that you forgot.
