Who told you
It was okay
To bully
us kids?
Who taught you
It was fine
To break
our
bones?
Remold them
Into your
Own?
Cut us down
before we're
grown?
Oh, we'll
grow,
battered and scared
Resentful with tears
Who told you
It was okay
to hurt
us kids?
Who whipped you
Into a
perfect hate
Over our state
Of being?
To shape
Our
very lives?
Cut our
hearts before
we die?
Cowards,
Nothing but shame
You're the monster
We should blame
