I Can't Sit Still

I can't sit still.
I want to try.
But I suffer,
Then I forget.

My teacher hates me.
I don't understand why.
She glares and sighs.
Nothing I do ever seems right.
I dream for a different world--
One where I call the shots
And nobody is disappointed in me.
One where I'm in charge 
And nothing is allowed to change
Without my saying so.
One where I can't get in trouble
For playing and wandering and wiggling too much.

At home,
Dad wants to be left alone.
Mom says I'm just too loud.
When they hand me a screen,
I embrace it with all my might.
It is perfect.
A thing is dreams.
I tell the lights what to do
And they listen.
They play with me.
And for once
I'm in control.
Because the lights don't change
Until I tell them to.
