People ask
They question my knowledge
How the hell did I know so much at a young age
My answer?
It was never straight
But the few who read between the lines
The people who asked cus they truly cared
They understood
What did they see?
What did they feel?
I don\'t know
But a couple talked to me
Asked if I had grown up to fast
My answer?
It wasn\'t straight
And since it never was
Or sometimes dodged
People stopped asking
It made me remember that I did grow up to fast
That\'s why when my BFF would tell me a boy asked her out
I immediately knew his intentions
When my BFF lied to me
I knew
And not because we were close
But because I had this gut feeling
And ever since I was 7 I had that
I knew when people were being manipulated
When they were lying
Or if they were afraid
I understood body language
And when I finally had to courage to answer
To tell my BFF why I knew so much
She hugged me
And said: It makes sense
And for those reading this
If you read between the lines
Or if your life is similar
You\'ll understand
Cus you can\'t always give a straight answer
But you know
It\'s an instinct you develop
It\'s the way life molds you
