Giant Shade Tree

There was a monster

as she lived

Just valuable enough

For me to forgive

She came and she took

She gave a lot too

A cool look, a bruise, a book

And always an "I love you"

Mad is the monster always around

While I idealize the one's that truly let me down

No tape on their mouths

They only choked on their word's

No matter how foul

For worse or worse

They, let, her

The monster casts a big shadow

Under the shade, uglier things may grow

And when the beast did fall

Down came the great red wall

I look around now with the monster gone

None of you think that you were wrong

No guilt or shame when you hear my name

So ready to belittle her now thinking I can relate
