Waste of Potential

A girl woke up in the morning
She clearly wasn't well
She had shit in her eyes
Someone fired a cannonball in her ear
And it came out the other side

Now single with a peppermint kid
A handsome road lay ahead
A round of applause please
For choosing to throw a skid

Snared by the paltry lines of a chameleon head
A fitting tribute to a world within a world
Another child's life dissected
Now that the colours of deception are unfurled.
