Think Before You Say

People think I'm weak,
And that I cry at anything,

But I never shed a tear,
I stay quiet, almost a sin,

But when I cry at home,
No one shall see,

Nor the next day they shall see,
The dark bruises that haunt me,

People say I forgive to much,
But why live a lie,

Just to be appreciated by others,
Something I'd rather not try,

People say I'm pathetic,
But if you lived the life I did,

You'd be the strongest person in the world,
Abused sense a kid,

So before you judge,
Or make a mistake,

Think about what others may go through,
And what feelings are really at stake,
