You'd be surprised,
if you knew me.
You listen to strangers.
Believing what they say,
about other strangers.
but if you really knew me,
you wouldn't believe any of it.
Next time you wan to listen to a stranger,
about another,
think of what I may be hearing,
about you.

The author's comments:
Many people at my school think they know me, it is a small town. Everybody knows evrything about everybody, right? No need to meet someone to know what kind of person they are, right?
Wrong.
