Knowledge

Sometimes it the obvious things that are hard to understand.

Did you know?
You shouldn't be scared of your father
You shouldn't hate being in a room with him
You shouldn't be left with bruises from him
You shouldn't wish him dead

Did you know
You're not supposed to flinch
When a hand is raised
When a voice gets too loud
Or you make a small mistake

Did you know
You're not supposed to cry
When you want to die
Because you're so scared
and you want to run and hide

Did you know
You can block the hits
You can walk out the door
And still, build a life all on your own
Because the right people will come
