Clueless
by
Sherene Delgado
I'm clueless you say
Never seeing the big picture
Wandering through my life without a real sense of knowledge
Without experiencing how life really is.
But I do see the big picture
You will just never know it.
I see how life is each passing day.
As my thoughts cloud my mind.
As I think of the knowledge I possess.
I saw how life was when a man invaded my body against my will.
I saw how man was when he stole my innocence from me.
My soul is no longer with me because I have experienced life.
Yet I'm clueless to you.
I gained knowledge through watching my parents fight.
As they used me against the other.
I gained knowledge by watching how unhappy two people can make each other.
Yet I am clueless to you.
I am far from being clueless
My eyes have been open longer then you think.
I have witness the world in a far brighter light then one should.
And have seen aspects of humanity that should remain in the dark of night.
Just because I learned to hide my pain better then most.
Just because I learned to move forward rather then dwell on the past.
I am clueless to you.
You are wrong.
I am not clueless to the world,
But you will just never know.
