Silent, no more..

They're wanting to "canonize her", the one who did  me in
She was the one, who, cruelly beat me . time and time again
So why should I become participant ..in words I can never say
I would rather withdraw my presence then to lie in any way

I tear up whenever I hear it:  the falsities they choose to  say:
"She was so very wonderful" but I didn't know her in that way
I watched her as she beat my sister; I  knew her as:  beating me
So why should I pretend that she was some image of sanctity

Somehow there was  this common mantra, this utterance of dysfunctionality:
"Everything is  fine and dandy"; but the truth wasn't that you see...
For it was within our human nature to paint pictures that weren't ever true
Just so we could be more accepted... but what good did  that ever do?

So..I'm tired of all of this pretending, this silencing of all my hurt
Just to feel a  bit more accepted by someone who hasn't known my worth
I'm not going to refrain from speaking it: the truth that I have known
So if you cannot accept my story; just keep believing in your own..
