What if I told you
What if I told you
They beat me. They took my insides and made them outsides. They traded my innocence for money. They locked me away, and only thought about me when they were in need.
Would you feel sorry for me? Would you sympathize?
What if I told you
They spit on me. Threw me in the streets. When others weren't looking, they broke my bones. They made me drink poison, and sleep with the garbage.
Would you want to help me? Save me?
but
What if I told you
That never happened.
What if I told you
They were good to me. They cared about me. They gave me everything they could.
What if I told you
I haven't lived a tragedy.
I'm not scarred.
Or damaged.
and
I have no justifiable reason to feel the way I do. To feel empty. And abandoned. And without love. And lost.
Would you still care? Would that be enough for you to NOTICE ME?
