Oddball
December 1, 2017
I am a dandelion in a field of roses,
More noticeable than a sore thumb.
I am a disaster to a drunken life,
putting a damper on the “high life”.
I am a lost baby Robin,
In a nest full of overly hungry Eagles.
I am a walking cartoon band aid,
Hoping to heal my childhood wounds.
I am a bruised honey crisp apple,
That nobody wants to enjoy.
I am a panic attack full of confusion,
That doesn't seem to go away.
I am a zebra surrounded by cheetahs,
Hoping I come out safe and alive.
I am a chaotic house fire
Constantly taking my own control.
