The Guardian's mistake

The guardian is sitting right up in their chair,

Thinks they know best,

thinks it's perfectly fair.

They signed on the line,

said this place is a prize,

A "special needs house" that is built on their lies.

They tell the whole world that it's better for me,

But the system's too blind to step up and see.

They took me from Mammal,

they said it was right,

Now I'm trapped in a house full of chaos and blight.

They call this an upgrade,

but I know the truth,

There's nothing but chaos underneath this roof.

At Mammal's I had love,

and I always was fed,

Now I'm starving and listening to fighting instead.

At Mammal's my medicine came right on time,

But here at this house,

they are crossing the line.

They say it's "special needs," they say it's okay,

But I know the difference,

and I'm counting the days.

Let me tell the real facts of this "wonderful" place,

Staff cussing each other right in my space.

Talking bad about people instead of my care,

While my daytime medicines just sit over there.

They get it right at bedtime,

but the rest is so late,

With barely a bite of real food on my plate.

And one of the staff members slapped me in spite,

But my friend filed a report,

bringing truth to the light.

Back at the Higginsville house,

the plates were piled high,

No yelling, no gossip,

no reason to cry.

Mammal gave me her heart,

Mammal kept me so warm,

Now I'm just Kimmie,

surviving the storm. I'm keeping the record,

I'm noting the pain,

The guardian has power,

but I've got the brain.

They call this an upgrade,

but I know the truth,

There's nothing but chaos underneath this roof.

At Mammal's I had love,

and I always was fed,

Now I'm starving and listening to fighting instead.

At Mammal's my medicine came right on time,

But here at this house,

they are crossing the line.

They say it's "special needs," they say it's okay,

But I know the difference,

and I'm counting the days.

The system made a mistake.

They are completely wrong.

My memory is sharp,

and my spirit is strong.

The cops have the file,

the truth leaves a trace,

I want all of this cruelty out of my face.

Mammal, I'm fighting to get back to you,

Where the medicine's right,

and the love is all true.
