Troublemaker

She lives in the boxes within bounds What she can and can't Keeps her safe, contained and Makes her known Even within the confines Of her series of squares Still she steals their glances Their judgments So they slice away her corners Shrink her world some more Lower the sky And tell her she don't own it Love all, trust a few Do wrong to none Love all, trust a few Do wrong to none Ooooo Troublemaker She look down, look down Even this little hope She comes by secondhand It's gutter-picked and stained Forgotten, forgettable but Dreams rise like steam Seeks words to assuage And swat away their grasp She recites her mantra Ribs awaken, cracking Til she's open to the sun Reveals her sum Love all, trust a few Do wrong to none Love all, trust a few Do wrong to none Ooooo Troublemaker Ooooo Troublemaker
