Driver 13

I need a vcr then you will understand why they called me a fa got got it not it or told me to shut the fck up suck it up Before that it was ''He 'she 'It'' they called me 'purple hair' after living overseas behind me long hair already left Korea didn't see Vietnam yet wait until we get back to the 'states Vietnam has estates too you know burning rubber groves and napalm on aging palms Let's go back to The best frenemies, too bullies aren't any older than me yet go get the strongest fighter fiercest I dont know or care before that a room beside me we hide so close to a homophobic driver video games in a detention hall a surviver of what they know next I didn't ever want to know A small white room with a tv above a blank table top Driver is the game the kids/ ask if is it real as my mind thinks about the adults on fire in the museum built just for me an American child talking to another what do you mean? they asked me when it was not the question of the day 'attacking us'! What's this about The dangers of us, or them? I'm no longer in Vietnam, today 2020 is another war another way
