The Rain You Now Know Of
Location
I have lived a life of stress and hurt
I have been harassed and treated like dirt
I do have some friends, yes, I do
But I have a lot more enemies too
These are things you hadn't known
I have been through quite a lot
It's as if my life is part of Fate's evil plot
I have been mistreated, abused
And have often been misused
These are things you hadn't known
But through all of this, the things you didn't know
I tried to make my efforts in your class show
I tried harder and harder and harder each day
But yet you still treated me the same way
These are things you hadn't known
You treated me as if I were only a kid
As if it was something wrong that I did
You added on to the hurt I already felt
It was just more pain that you dealt
These are things you hadn't known
I just want you to know that you could have made my day
By just being nice in the simplest way
All you had to do was treat me with kindness and respect
Things like "How has your day been" would have had a lasting effect
These are things you now know
Anything, anything at all could have helped
Your silence hurt more than being beaten by a belt
You could have ended just some of the pain
But all I felt was more dark clouds and rain
These are things you know
