You Don't Know Me

You don't know me.

I'm a diffr'nt girl than I was.

I'm no longer a girl.

I've become a woman.

You don't know me.

I've changed in so many ways.

I've morphed into something new.

I've become a flower.

You don't know me.

I've taken on so many things

New challenges have been conquered.

I have become a fighter.

You don't know me.

I've walked a million miles.

I've gone the distance and beyond.

I've become a discoverer.

You don't know me.

I've sat in misery and cried.

I've lived the pain of many millenia.

I've become a survivor.

You don't know me.

I've said it before.

And yet you listen.

You listen to my sadness.

You've shared my pain.

You've walked along side of me.

You've held my hand.

I say that you don't know me.

I guess that's not true.

Maybe, just maybe, you do...
