You Dont Know Me

You talk like you've lived my story But you've never walked

My pain You paint me with your silence Like I'm the one to blame

You whisper in crowded places Like you've seen behind my eyes

But you missed the storm inside me And the tears I learned to hide

You built your truth on shadows And dressed it up as care

But you never asked the questions You were never really there

You don't know me Not the fire

Not the fall You don't see me When I'm screaming through it all You

Hold your version tightly But it's not

Reality You don't know me You never did — not really

I've danced with my own silence And stitched my wounds

With grace You only saw the surface Not the war I had to face

You speak like you were witness To every broken part But

You missed the quiet courage That rebuilt my shattered heart

So don't pretend to name me Don't rewrite my truth

I'm more than your assumptions More than what you knew

You don't know me Not the fire

Not the fall You don't see me When I'm rising through it all You hold

Your version tightly But it's not reality

You don't know me You never did — not really
