let's keep it that way

you don't know me,

she says

in a rage.

her eyes red

from crying.

her whole-body trembling

with victim hood.

you don't really know who i am,

or the hell

i've been

through.

you have no idea of the ordeals

i've had to deal with,

do you?

you're oblivious to

my struggles,

the weight i carry on my

back

every day.

you have no clue, do you, 

about who i really am, she says

wagging her finger

in my face.

nope i tell her.

and let's keep

it that way.
