Beaten Mind

red eyed girl
eyes red from crying
smiles for all the world
hates attention
hates lonliness
takes her beatings with a side of toast

she brings her pistol to school
keeps it in the viola case in her head
she smiles at them
they joke on her
if only she could pull it out
but there is one choice
to take her beatings with a side of toast

shouting singing flying fish
casualties would mount high
she dreams what she idolizes
she plots against what she despises
using twenty mental shots
but these twenty shots just her brain has got
so she takes her beatings with a side of toast
