A few years ago a tv flickered on It was bright Colorful It made me feel good I let it shine bright A year or two pasted And the tv had changed There was something new It felt right I let it shine bright But some people glared It made me feel odd Ashamed of the glow I slowly hid it And dimmed that glow I hid it under a blanket In the back room of the house But that tv still flickers Hoping one day to come out.
