Betty Bright and Cali Cruel
Written by Cassandra Alexander
One was nice and one was mean
Never any in between
It was either left or the right
The world was seen in black or white
It was good or it was bad
It was evil or it was grand
You could never tell where you should stand
How to eat and where to sit
You did that wrong you retarded shit
Stand up straight or shrink down small
Hold my hand or leave the home
You can never get it just the slightest right
Eggshells and landmines fill the night
You may step safe or blow it high
Your knees feel weak and stomach turns
You wish for normal at every turn
“Wash those dishes!!”
“You did them wrong!”
“I'm so happy that you're home!”
“Why are you here just leave me alone!”
You curl up in a ball so tight
Afraid to unroll and see if it's light
The walls to protect are built up high
The sad lost child is buried inside.
