He molested me But taught me about the Romans As if to give me the tools to survive it Father, I am a rock Made of stone Cold and unfeeling I finch from affection Is this the direction? Is this how you prepared me for the world . Pulling my pig tails too tight you remind me that the world wouldn't be this nice . I expect the worst at every turn. Ice blue eyes haunt my nightmares and offer false promise He molested me but He taught me about the Romans Accepting death Accepting pain as an after thought of being human standing as a solider Standing tall and brave Accepting everything as a lesson You only can control how you react: How I retract Reject Reject Reject Loving everyone more than I love myself. Give Give Give If my capacity for love were a pie Id have given every slice to someone else Meeting my gaze in the mirror Eyes glazing over Nothing left for self.
