Do You Know?

Do you know what it's like To be an outcast Caught somewhere between Wanting to fit in But not will to be One of them? Do you know what it's like To be skin and bones Rarely looking up Because you can feel The naked stairs of Disgust and hate? Do you know what it's like To be tricked into The arms of a boy You thought you knew Just to find out He never gave a damn About you? Do you know what it's like To be thrown around Like another hand me down To worn to be used By anyone else? Do you know what it's like To watch them Take your baby sister away While she sits in your mama's arms She wipes a tear Trailing down her face? “Mama it'll be okay” Do you know what it's like To sleep under a bridge Huddled up against A strangers chest Just to stay alive On a winter night? Do you know what it’s like To walk a day In my non-existent shoes All the pain and memories Weighing you down Inch by inch Pound by pound. Honestly, do you know?
