I watch as people file into the dentist office 
The little boy with the "first time" nervous smile 
The old man with the look like he had been there many times before

you look 
at the skinny
wild haired teen
with the large glasses 
and the dark brown eyes
you look at me
but you don't see me
you don't see the pain I suffer through 
every day of my life

rainbows 
bright 
shining under a hazy cloud of possibilities
and an endless sky of dreams 

muddpuddless 
with tiny frog like boots
that bounce up and down 

yup
I ate your food
I did it
it wasn't you 
forgetting that you did it
it was me
i stood there
staring at you
shoving your sandwich into my face 
your own mother.
you ask why?
