How could you do all of those things to me? <br />Couldn't you see what the outcome would be? <br />When you look at me now, can you see all those days? <br />All those stolen days you can never replace? <br />What did I do? I was just a child <br />It's no wonder I was so violent and wild <br />Look at yourself and don't even lie <br />The only question I have is 'why, just why' <br />Every blow you ever layed upon me <br />You knew they would never listen to me <br />Didn't you consider the fear that I felt? <br />What about the embarrassment of another welt? <br />What did I do, was I so...bad? <br />What in the hell made you so..mad? <br />I try and understand or even to relate <br />but I never did anything for you to hit my face <br />Alone and afraid with nowhere to run or go <br />Anger and Hate was all I knew how to show. <br />I ran from the cops and hurt people I knew <br />I turned into a monster all because of you <br />I turned to crime and violence and pain <br />I was so out of control, everyone knew my name <br />But along came the end to my savage ways <br />He forgives my past and brings happiness to my days <br />He holds my hand and never lets go <br />The scar you left barely even shows <br />Im different now, I'm loved and no longer hated <br />I am no longer the monster you once created<br /><br />Shelby Renee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-monster-you-created/
