grace


Silence in the classroom
bells ring in my ears
Patience, to the bathroom
I cry ‘til I disappear
why why, why me.
why’s my name Bullseye
do I look like a candy,   cane
colored, blackred, or white
am I just a trashcan
like Oscar   only silent.
am I just a reject
throw me on the deadline.
fight, fight, in my head
love ends, and that’s true
blessings end in dis grace
I am just a lost button
four eyes, but no life  line
if God is real, ly, real, then
where does his grace fit?
I just need a rainbow
    to glisten in the white
snow, please help me find
My bus seat.
