They told us we needed therapy.

but failed to see the

needle marks on our soul (too high to hurt).

Electro-psychosis, 

peppermint twist around and around-

give me...

Shock.A trick or a treat?

Paralyzed on the floor

I watch stars fumble...

...trip,fall.

Stumble on broken bones

(sticks and stones, sticks and stones).

They told us we needed healing,

but we were not broken.

They couldn't see beyond the scars.

We were fine,

perfectly fine.

It was them who needed help.
