Don't tell them, I don't like Jelly Beans or Chocolate cake.

Don't tell them, I don't like Jelly Beans or Chocolate cake.


A tough day turning ten
You go from a single digit
To a double digit
You are now an adult.

I was wearing my Fathers clothes when I was 9
It was not unfamiliar that people relied on me
The weight you carry is sensitive and real
Sensitivity is your only measure to keep peace

You get moved away from your home
Fostered by caring people
Christ their salvation
Thank god they have faith

It gave me a place to rest my tired head
Night one, my birthday, a Jelly Bean Chocolate cake
As they presented the cake with huge smiles
I whispered to my brother ,Don't tell them...

I don't like Jelly Beans or Chocolate cake.
