Zenon Perros // TEENAGE BOY

A girl named June sat in her room
Wanting a better computer

She worried ‘bout wins, and her new roblox wings
Things like ponies, they meant nothing to her.

Her parents knew
She cared not for shoes,
Or dolls, hair brushes or new makeup hues

All it seemed she wanted to do
Was play games,
and she won at them too

She killed dragons in minecraft, as she fell through the days
And played fortnite for hours as she wasted away

She’d get money from wins,
And buy all the skins
But she always just seemed to want more

Her parents tried to stop this fool,
They made lots and lots and lots of rules,
But every time they would try to make rules
She’d answer “thank you kanye, very cool”,
And they tried and tried, rule after rule
But just never seemed to get through

She wasn’t too keen on much but TV
She’d sit for hours and hours

Watching Spongebob and Gary
While she drank her Sprite cranberry
Wasting and wasting away

She began skipping school
And breaking the rules,
Just to stay home and play one more game
And all the doctors they went to, they tried and tried in vain
For not a single one could set upon to tame the young girl’s brain

Her doctor, he wanted to ask her why she’d started to vape,
She turned to him, with a sly little grin
And said “They did surgery on a grape”

The doctors knew what had happened too,
They tried and tried to get it through

The parents did not want to see
To let it through their heads
That they didn’t have a little girl, but a teenage boy instead.
