Sock Drawer Blues
Glue

Hey mom look at me, no mismatched socks on my feetnEverything's in perfect order, there's no chaos underneath this huge grinnUh oh my sarcasm's been sightednBut once again it's looks to me like you need to be remindednAbout getting me after soccer practice, attach this note to your foreheadnBut your reflection's been distortednEver since you lost sense of what's really importantnI've been trapped by myself in this adolescent fortressnWhat's in store for my mile stones?nHow come I think so adult?nWhy do I look around and see no one elsenWhy do they obey like they were born robotsnI can't do that, I fight back with glares and sidewalk cracksnLife would be better if I could find this amusingnBut every minute another war ends with me losingnAnd I hate fighting, but I can't tell my relatives about the strugglenThey expect me to have a high i.q and bruised knucklesnLook at me…the superglue with disturbing ideasnDetermined to let kids everywhere see me survive their fearsnSaving my lunch money to buy a bus ticket to the land of no parentsnThere I will be king and rule the voiceless victimsnThey can't understand why medicine can't make me wholenAnd I'm only eight years old and let music heal my soulnHey hey hey don't you step out of line young mannLook into my eyes; do you even know who I am?nnAll of this and they have no idea that I exist in this skinnEverything is figured out between my ears and withinnI have the answer to humanities aching diseasesnI can communicate with all of god's creaturesnYet I still have recess and sit in front of this TVnWaiting for the time to come when I can leave this helpless bodynSo have your teacher conferences, and find a solutionnBut I dare you all to find one respected institutionnThat can understand how I feel, when I'm not even realnAnd life is judged by their naive views and images they stealnI don't use these ideas that my teachers can't relate tonBecause I know there is no science to explain what I've been throughnIn these short years my existence has become completely barenFrom having this curse till the first second I breathed airnI dream in historic episodes that I never forgetnAs if I'm being trained to understand what hasn't been found yetnAll of this while eating breakfast at 7amnWith the family surrounding the table ending with amennnThey tell me to smile in school picturesnBut I have nothing to smile about; my head has been saturated with questions marks and doubtsnThat will obviously last years past my graduation and no kid will ever feel what I cant get away fromnI want simple pleasures in bedtime and playing in the sunnBecause I know the universe is coming down on everyonenAnd mom is late picking me up today, that figuresnYou know it's embarrassing not to depend on what I have to live withnI wish I could tell them that none of it mattersnThey believe that dumbing down hides them as really good actorsnPlaying the role of parents but I see them as temporary teachersnProviding me with reason to hide from the miracle seekersnThey use this as a reason to thank god and ask for repentancenCause I am not the cause for them to finish their sentencenIt's the total understanding of all that's existednMy feet walk to a different theme, lifted on a pedestal by invisible stringsnThe wood sings when I climb the walls, writing the meaning of life in crayons until the night fallsnI understand what life is and what it has to offernBut I've been deprived of shape to stand at the altarnMy years last three times as long, my body will never catch up to my mindnAct like toys and video games excite me and I play like its all finenI hear them talking around me as if I don't understandnUsing words in-correctly and lying about their fellow mannThere's no prophecy in my voice and even if there was I wouldn't carenI've been given the gift of healing but have no one to share withnPrepare for the future as I live the normal routinenFooling everyone I encounter acting like a human beingnLate again she acts like I don't exist, the same routinenAnd everyday is just like this; from the back seat I tell her it's ok to my handnBut she laughs saying, honey its ok you wouldn't understandnIt drives me sane to know that if she only realizednThat I could see the answer in her tired eyesnHopefully dad will see it and won't let her slip awaynBut it destroys me to see this happens and there is nothing I can saynMy curse of comprehension in this premature formnWith the ability to see damage and hear the silent alarmsnAll of this while eating dinner every night at 7pmnWith the family surrounding the table ending with amennAll of this while eating dinner at 7pmnWith the family surrounding the table ending with amen
