I know something happened

to him

Somewhere out there

someone fitted him in his first

wife-beater shirt

and bought him cigarettes,

feeding him lies

about how

he was Superman.

Someone

BIG and STRONG

came along and built his ego

up so so very HIGH

and so TALL that it was

too BIG for

anyone to handle.

Someone who told him lies and made

him think

He

was

irresistible.

That He was "DA MAN" and no one dare

refused him.

They amputated his sense

of decency,

his empathy for all others.

BUT!

I don't care!

I can't care about his

problems, only what he did

to me.

Made me grow UP thinking

ALL MEN ARE ANIMALS

scared to be myself

Not being really sure who

that was anyway..

A little girl who

thought it was OK

to be a whore.

So yeah, he was ruined by

someone but

I don't care.
