Pull My Gopher Daddy
me me me i i i
well, i'll just talk about me some more
i never really felt comfortable in life
like, elementary school, there was this kid one time that kicked me
maybe i was being annoying i was probably being annoying
and i was on the ground and he kicked me
in the stomach i think
don't really remember
but i do remember biting him lol
i bit his leg so hard..and the teacher, she got mad at both of us
i tried to explain that he kicked me and i had to do something, but she wasn't having it
well, in your 5k did your school have some clever way of keeping track of your bad behavior?
my school, each grade up to probably 4th grade had a similar method of keeping track of bad behavior
my 5k had these little pockets with our names written on them on the wall
each pocket had three cutouts of a gopher (a later grade i remember had three french fries in the pocket for every student)
well she made me pull all my gophers for biting this kid which meant i got in trouble
that really pissed me off
so one day i stole everyone's gophers so teacher bitch couldn't make me pull mine
and i brought them home and hid them in the closet
a week later they sent a letter home to all the parents saying someone had stolen all the gophers
i denied it, naturally
i'm sure they suspected me LOL
my mom found them a year later in that closet
but since then i always felt out of place i don't know why really
trying to work through these feelings
i remember too one time i stole a magnet from a store i really wanted
i don't know why stealing was my anthem for most of my life
i think it felt like i was making things right again
i think the gophers taught me that i can control the outcome or at least cause the system stress by stealing
i dk
2nd grade i was held back for "not being able to read at the level" i needed to
but i know it's because i was being bullied in school
and acting up
being the class clown
they said i had ADHD my mom said fuck off with that
but it was something no doubt
i got something no doubt
but this feeling of being out of place
of not belonging
it's followed me everywhere
i've never felt like i should be here
like everyone else gets this life thing a little better than me
im slow
it takes me longer to catch on to all of this
im the wrong
the wrong disposition
the wrong gender
the wrong thoughts
the wrong outlook
the wrong processor
do you feel like that too?
even a little bit?
im still that kid
nothing has changed
except i do drugs now
life is about finding the right drugs i think
alcohol though, not for me fam
