Three little girls
Sit on the playground,
Playing those games
That children play.

Two of them are kind,
Peaceful little things.

And one of them is loud,
A buzzy queen bee.

She tells them what to do,
What games to play,
She makes the rules because
She has the nicest backpack,
And her mother curls her hair.

Also, teacher likes her best.

The quietest of the girls
Just nods,
Her face is calm,
She is thinking
About important things,
Why is and how does,
All those thoughts.

Not about dumb things,
Reenacting faerie tales
Where she can never be
Queen.

The other just smiles.
She always smiles,
Sometimes her face
Pinches and hurts.

But she smiles because
Her daddy went away
To live with Uncle and his family,
To take happy pills.
He's getting better,
Maybe he'll stop being sad
If she smiles hard enough.

The loudest girl,
Who is the queen,
Again,
Demands that they make her
A flower crown.

And her servants look to each other,
Pretending to nod seriously,
But they flash eye-smiles
And then hide them behind
Blinking lids.

Nod and smile.

The queen buzzes away,
And her workers go to the field.
This is the purple group, they aren't really a family as they are all children from different households. It can be assumed that I, the quietest girl might live with the Green or the Blue family, and V, who is the daughter of the Uncle mentioned in "Red", might be staying with them as well.
