Sock Puppets

i can’t see you growing up

i’m scared i’ll get burned by the florida sun

suffocating since the age of 6

i can’t erase what i saw

the doors she broke, his cigar smoke

remember everything

the tvs on, my mom is drunk, my dad on a business trip

what can i do, how can i fix this?

what did they do, is this what love is?

the sock puppets showed me

but i never got it

asked me to explain

but they never got it

crying in the guidance counselors office for the second time this week

tell her taylor and brooke were being mean to me again

i guess it’s something automatic, maybe cause i try to hard

tried to be the one they could like

passing notes in reading class

circled no and sent it back

couldn’t even realize they got something i lack

the sock puppets showed me

but i never got it

asked me to explain

but they’ll never get it
