Most people complain

That their mom won't let them go out with their friends

That their dad won't let them work

But few know the pain of rejection

Few have any idea of what it is like

To go home and be told you are not welcome

To go home and have them yell at you

Not for your flaws

But for your success 

They don't understand what it is like

To fear the persecution

That is always given to you by your family

And the ridicule they could not imagine.

Rarely do people understand what it is like

To be told you are not good enough

To be told you don't have the look

That is approved by your family.

To be told that you are not good enough.

Most people don't see the mask that is worn

To tear away any suspicion 

And make it seem like you are the 

Picture

Perfect

Family

Few know the truth 

of what happens 

behind the scenes.
