Tick Tock The mouse ran up the clock The fish swam up the dock Tickety tickety tock I don't know how to talk The only things I say Are thoughts that someone gave Me, I don't speak for my thoughts They riot Underrepresented They riot They're turning on me I'm not doing them justice They scream on me They shout "Let us go" "We want you to speak us" But I don't know how to talk "I can't, I can't" I tell them They ignore me like I ignore them Tick tock Back and forth I rock Sanity is a casualty of freedom

Tick Tock
I strongly dislike you. I strongly dislike shoe. I strongly dislike boo. There's nothing that I strongly like. Except for blike. And **** And shrike. But that's all nonsense. Words made up. Why do the good things never rhyme? We all run out of time.

Pros and Cons
You can't catch me Even when you do, I slip through the fingers you can never close. You can grab pieces of my clothes But never in its entirety To catch me you have to outrun me But it's an unlikely feat I have yet to witness But I have no interest in doing so I always win Remember that I'll tease too My clothes will hit the floor But they're always in my grip And out of yours

The Gingerbread Man
They thought. They thought I was just like them. They thought that while they talked about boys I would care. They thought I had a boyfriend. I told. I told them I was different. I told them I could still listen to them talk about boys. I told them I had a girlfriend. They felt. They felt that I was an alien. They felt that I was a freak. They felt they could never speak near me again. They felt I should go to hell for my love. I spread. I spread love. I spread acceptance. I spread the idea that we could coexist. I spread the love that I felt for my girlfriend. They accepted.
