Thoughts About A Man

Is it when he first swats his tiny hand at his mother for not getting what he wants?


Is it when he makes fun of the little girl on the monkey bars for not being very tall and wearing velcro shoes?


Is it when he goes to a party, drinks a lot and tries to get his girlfriend to do stuff with him, of course when she refuses he breaks up with her?


Is it when he lies and cheats in life and with his ...

When Does A Man Become A Monster?

When you suspect your man is cheating:


1. His whole personality changes, becoming distant and non verbal!

2. Starts to sleep on the couch!

3.He picks on you, for little thing!

Bringing your self-esteem down!

4. Honey, I’m working late, that’s bullshit!

5.He buys all new sexy underwear! Never did!

6.No more lovey dovey in the bedroom!

7.When he’s home, he’s unshaven and doesn’t shower. Yuk!

8. Ke...

Monster.

He can tear hearts,

But be viewed as a healer,


He can take lives,

Never seen as a stealer,


Callousness, sin,

As precious to him as ivory,


Not one pained cry,

Satisfies his twisted gluttony,


The world sees him,

As the heavens above;


They are deceived—

His heart contains no love.


Yet he will rise,

So quick, in a blur,


When does a man,

Become a monster?

Hi guys!! I hope you’re having a gre...

Only A Monster

Secretive and deceiving


Only a villain can do that


Bad intentions and so believing


Only the persuasive can cause that


Preys on the gullible and weaklings


Only a monster would do that


Innocently acting and speaking


Then, when does a man become a monster?...

Learning, Uninspired, Irredeemable.

Young and carefree.

Minisclue hands wrapped tightly around a father's finger.

"Look both ways before you cross the street."

Obedient, imaginative, learning.

Innocent eyes bare witness to injustice,

Sensitive ears ring amidst shouting matches,

A small body is the unlucky recipient of many blows;

A boy at the mercy of his caregivers.


Growing and troubled.

Bruised hands trembling after each punch.

...

Threshold

He spoke in promises

but bled in lies,

a smile carved sharp

to mask the rot beneath.


Each kindness he wore

was borrowed—

a costume stitched

from others’ pain.


And in the mirror

he won’t meet,

a question burns

in quiet ruin:


When does man become monster?...

Choices

What separates a man from a monster? What is a monster? Is it an animal, is it evil, is it the base standard for every man or is it an every changing word? If a man can become a monster can a monster become a man? Is redemption possible for evil? A monster does not care a monster only feels hate or indifference. Any man can become a monster everyday everyone makes choices. The choice to get out of...

Monster

When does a man become a monster?


Was it the way he looked in my eyes, or the comment about leaving us behind.


Was it the way he wished death? Or better yet all the threats?


Actions don’t always make a monster but sometimes you can see it in the eye. But they usually look like grey and black skies.


Maybe a better question is, was he always a monster?...

When Does A Man Become A Monster?

When does a man become a monster?

Is it when he first sins,

Or when he calls another a monster

When he begins?


When does a man become a villain?

Is it when he steals bread,

Or when he steals to make another million?

Is it once he’s illiterate or well-read?


When does a man turn evil?

Is it when he causes harm,

Or when he does it once it’s legal?

Is it when he uses his slaves or his charm?


When d...

The Man

I see men differently now

From the man who created me to the last man I loved

You all fucking suck


The little boys running around, what do they know?

What do they know about abuse about torture about violence


Who taught you to be so entitled?

Entitled to a woman’s body, entitled to a woman’s love, a woman’s thoughts, a woman’s presence

Where did the violence begin?


I don’t know a woman who ha...
