you don’t see tears does not mean I am not hurting.

Just because I don’t fight back does not mean your words have not slashed through my heart.

Just because I don’t retaliate it does not mean that you have a right to attack me again.

Just because you say you love me doesn’t mean I believe it.

Just because you are mean to me doesn’t give me the right to be mean in return.

Just because you take advantage of me does not mean I will not stop giving.

Just because you have told me in me that I am worthless does not mean I will stop telling you how worthwhile you are.

Just because every time I try to open up communication with you and you tell me you don’t want to talk does not mean I am giving up.

Just because you don’t clean up your room or your dishes does not mean I will kick you out of my house.

Just because you are my child I will continue to love you and hide my tears in the process.
