When I was a kid, I built a city where no one knew pity.
When I was a kid, I was a monster, towering above the towers. My make believe city couldn’t withstand my make believe powers.
When I was a man, I built a home where nobody had to feel alone.
When I was a man, I was a monster, devouring those I loved most. Now that they’re gone, I’m haunted by the memories of their ghosts.
When I was a child, I was obtuse.
When I was a man, I had no excuse.
Creation, just to destroy.
Innocence is evil’s greatest ploy.
