YOU DONT KNOW ME By: Amy M. Kennedy Don't tell me you know me For you don’t have a clue You don't know the uphill climb I’ve had Or what I've had to go through Never walking a day in my shoes You do not know my pain Or the many tears I've cried As I stood out in the rain You think you know me so well But that is simply not the case I hide the real me many times Behind my smile, my face Why do I hide you might ask? I am scared to show my inner-self How dare you laugh when I say that You who is all consumed with their self My heart has been broken more than I’d like to recall So I build up these fences Making sure I had a strong wall I tried to show you who I was But you laughed at me So I tried again, gave you a second chance But again you dismissed me without so much as a glance So now my friend, I walk away Just remember you’re the one who wanted it this way You don’t know me You just pretend you do And now that I know the truth, me and you are through ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

That was a very expressive piece. I enjoyed reading it... and in fact have been feeling the same things. Fences are good... but only last so long. Thank you for sharing your gifts with me!

powerful words amy-girl...very well written and expressed...you can write like this...and still be sunshine...we just have to put on our dark glasses  great job...write it out...work it out... love ya, jm The stars shine so bright, now's the time I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face, Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you And held you close. Now I will reach for the stars... Because Oh my love, that's where you are... Though the storms of black night rage on I still see your face I still feel your lips on mine And though my heart feels all alone without you I still hear you sing to me I still hear your voice on the sea... vertical horizon |

Smiles sometimes cover sorrow and yes, we do build fences. This person who wrotee this has experienced pain, and expresses it very powerfully. Well done Liz |

Aimster, well written and well said. Did you tape it to his forehead before you walked away? INclan |

I think many will identify with this piece Amy .... Excellent expression .... "Shoot for the moon.Even if you miss,you'll land among the stars." _Les Brown_ |

The was great amy. im also curious if you taped it to his forehead lol Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. --Louis Boone |
