Hammer by Ryan P. Kinney **Picks up Hammer **Swings Hammer This one’s for every woman who didn’t love me And for every one that ever did This one’s for every person who has ever doubted and underestimated me For those who ever thought my life should be a mirror of their journey ‘Cause theirs worked out SO well for them *SMASH This one’s for my Father, Mother, Brothers My brother’s keeper, Sins of the Father, And inheritance of Mother’s malice This one’s for every time I’ve had to prove I’m the GOOD son *SMASH This one’s for the bigots, Racists, Hate-spewing monsters For the ************* morons This one’s for those who assume I’m gay ‘Cause that’s SUPPOSSED to matter *SMASH This one’s for those who have passed their petty judgments Based on the surface of my face Or my visible scars Or my hidden ones This one’s for those who have called me freak For those who judge me on who I was Not who I AM *SMASH This one’s for those who lack the ability to see in color and shades Locked in their boring black and white senseless absolutes There aren’t just gray areas There are tints of every shade we a capable of perceiving This one’s for the LITTLE people *SMASH This one’s for those who patronize my intelligence But yet are so easily fooled into acceptance With a pair of plastic black frames This one’s for IRONY *SMASH This one’s for those who have let me down Disappointed me, failed me Failed to live to their potential This one’s for EVERYONE *SMASH This one’s for me For not living up to my own potential This one’s for who I AM *SMASH And this one... These tears... **Drops Hammer **Looks to the sky... This one’s for my son
