Challenge
you know not what I now know
I have learned.
You pretend to smile
At others who know what you did.
You play a role that elicits sympathy
From those who fail to see the real you.
You wear a mask of happiness,
You still prey on those who care.
After all the trials, tribulations,
Lies and sacrifices...
You still know not what I now know.
I know now how to love myself.
I know now how to wear a smile
Showing that I am truly happy.
I no longer pretend to be someone
I am not for the sake of others.
I know now that I need not cling
To others to be happy.
I now know that only I
Can love myself for who I truly am.
And it pains me to say
That you know not what I now know.
