A gremlin lives inside my head.
It tries to trick me to do things of dread.
It had me flood the school bathroom,
And make fart noises while on zoom.
To put glue on the bully’s locker.
To get a red card while playing soccer.
It whispered to me to cheat on the test
It had me hide Dad’s favorite armrest.
A gremlin lives inside my head.
Don’t blame me, blame the gremlin instead.
