[ LGBTQ] Grading On The Curve
Growing up in a household
not religious in the least
with a schizophrenic adult
you learn a thing or two
Everyone comes into this world
with a slate clean except for chalk
residue from the previous lesson
develops fresh beliefs or adopts
perspectives that regardless are cause
for unique experiences no more
or less valid than the neighbors'
next door to across the globe
and for the coroner, leaves behind
a frontal lobe self afflicted with legions
of demons they couldn't exorcise with
medication
As much as crazy may require a lobotomy
in this lifetime, 99% of the population
somehow still manages to pass
the psyche evaluation
