Did You Know?

Did you know I used to cut?
And had suicide thoughts?
Or that I had five aniexity attacks?

No, you didn't
You just came home
And drank a dozen beers

Did you know how much it hurt?
When you shoved me into a wall
All because your mom didn't let me know

No, you didn't
Deciding I was a little lier
And going to your beloved MGM

Did you know that I cried
When you told me
I was a fat b*tch

No you didn't
You were nothing more
Than drunk

Did you know I wanted to tell
The grandma on my side
What you've done

No you didn't
You think nothing is wrong
That it's just the way of life

Did you know how many times
You told me your father abused you
And yet you do the same to me

No you didn't
Because it's not verbal
All it is, is words

Did you know you're a hypocryte for that?
You said my sister is abused by words
And you do the same to me

No you didn't
You just continue to drink
Say nothing is wrong

Did you know how upset I was
When you watched the news about drugged water
And still gave it to me

No you didn't
Since we've always been drinking it
But you also didn't know how much more drugs there are

Did you know that it's sad
That my brother was more concerned about me
Than you were when I fainted

No you didn't
You told me nothing was wrong
But, something is wrong with me

Did you know I got into a fight?
And lost one of my best friends
Because I rarely talk anymore

No you didn't
But I'm holding you responsible
Because you don't know anything about me


Your own daughter?
