I Didn't KNow, I Didn't Know

the other day i was sitting down at the bench reading a book


the book is there only to paint a picture of the scene, 

for i could've been doing just about anything else and it would've been the same


well, i was sitting, and reading, 


when a person came from behind


what are you doing they said


i flinched at this phrase i didn't know i didn't know


i told them i was sorry i was sorry i was sorry i didn't mean to


it was too late, what was done was done

i did the deed and i was guilty 

i knew, since the beginning, this would happen


i let them cuff my hands, i didn't fight it


i went behind the bars with a bent head


they didn't even give me a trial


and i didn't question it, i knew i didn't have rights


in a way, i was glad


i didn't have to hide the fact anymore 


that i was 


an impostor


a stutterer moving the body of a stranger
