Bad Kid Wonderland Brain

Colored outside the lines again

Choked

On black and white rules

Can’t get it right

-

Judges say it's easy

Just try--Don't be lazy

And I’m like

Oh my god--Stop

-

Easy just and lazy

Those four-letter

Ableist curses

-

I’ve heard ADHD

Called invisible--That's funny

Cuz my sins pull focus

-

Too much--Too loud--Can't keep up

She's a mess

Branded bad kid

Out of line

She’s not even trying

-

Textbook symptoms can't keep quiet

Flashing yellow--Caution

Don't play with her

Take warning

-

And I'm like--Please--Stop

I heard you--It hurts

Look

Thin skin

Bruised blue

-

Like last-minute homework

I'm returned--Rejected

Scarred in red pen

-

Standing

Alone on the gallows

Lit yellow--blue--red

-

Facing judges--always--again

All lined up--Armed

In matching black and white

Dressed to kill

-

Enough

Burn that script

Blood dried

I'm done

-

I won't plead

This time

I'm telling you

Keep your noose off my neck

Look--Reflect

-

Here--I brought us a mirror

-

Judges

Meet yourselves

Cold-eyed and captive

Gripping skeleton keys

To self-made cages

White and black looking back

All wearing tragedy's mask

-

And me

Already

I'm gone like Alice

Chasing bright magic chaos

Primary colors--Wonderland brain

All options--No lines needed

-

See

While you met your own

White wigs--black robes and masks

I escaped through the glass
