PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If you knew what I know, I wonder,
would you still cry?

If you knew what I know,
could you still trust with blind faith?

If you knew what I know,
would you still let him raise his hand to you?

If you knew what I know,
would you still starve yourself,
anything to make your reflection change?

If you knew what I know,
would you scream for someone to save you?

If you knew what I know,
would you still stand so strong,
a fragile force in a tormented world?

If you knew what I know,
would you still shine?

If you knew what I know,
would you still take that easy escape,
a blade, needle, or some other addiction?

If you knew what I know,
would it really matter,
could it even help you?

If you knew what I know,
it would change nothing,
so I'll keep it all inside.

If you knew what I know,
you wouldn't be the same.
