The Owls and The Mouse
A wannabe prosecutor emulating the trial, striking down the fear of perfectionism into a small child.
Remember the haze, remember the cage, now rage is where I'll be setting the phasers.
I smiled in fluorescent light, scowled within the dark night, and imagined my dad holding me when the sky turned white.
I'm a porcelain painting, frail and up for interpretation. Tourists walk by claiming they understand my situation .
But I don't like your monocle in my identity, and sorry but your breath smells like prejudice to me...
and no, I don't clean my clutter religiously, so you can judge my mess and go on with your ignorance please.
My one defense is that I know I'm helpless, so I don't want your opinions cause I know I need my own stance.
That's right, girl with hot feet and I'm treading on thin ice. You may have tread on me, but I won't let it happen twice.
