Boys with sisters are said to be better. He was dim at best, yet, fooling us all. With the grips of winter, I grew bitter. By the end of day, my hand would sure fall. Touch to love, to feel, with malice? I reel. She came to me with news that bit my soul. With my growing age, I lost my even keel. She said, take no act but I lacked control. In the crowded hall, I search for his face. Languorous eyes fail, where mine had been keen. His comfort and smiles resolved my distaste. My hand harkened his face, a blood spat scene. All the anger, all the rage felt in youth, Yet the excited hand spoke an untruth.
This sonnet is based on a true event. In high school, I hit a kid because my friend told me he molested her on a camping trip. In all honesty, I hit him because he resembled all the men that ever hurt me.
