Because you know the truth.

You know what happened 

Oh, so long ago 

When my dad would scream and yell 

Throw things over our heads 

Barely missing 

Because you know what happened 

When my mom tried to calm him down 

When I had to hide in a closet 

When the voices would just get louder 

Because you know the truth 

Of my troublesome childhood 

You know why I cry at night when its dark 

Why I get upset when I think your mad  

Or when you raise your voice when you are excited 

You understand  

You don't judge  

You just love me for who I am. 

Thank you.
