do you know how it feels to be me <br />to have your dad tell you he loved you then wake up and it was just a dream <br />do you know how it feels to never have a choice <br />to speak up but nobody hears your voice <br />do you know how it feels to have someone hit you because you cried <br />then someone asked what happened and you had to lie <br />or to have your stepdad get messed up on drugs and threaten you and your family <br />but you couldnt do anything about it because you knew he'd go crazi <br />do you know how it feels to see someone you love try to commit suicide <br />then watch your mom break down and cry <br />do you have a little brother or sister that you'll never get to see <br />cause your father thinks his kids are something he doesnt really need <br />do you know how it feels to live in fright <br />but you never knew why <br />if you dont know how all this feels then you'v never lived my life<br /><br />alicia mullins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/do-you-know-21/
