I am an Avenger
I avenge my childhood
My loves and loses
The flame of my passions smothered out under their boots
What they have taken from me
And replaced them with
Like artificial friends I am supposed to love
Cut for cut on my skin
I avenge myself, who I could have been, was meant to be, with marks carved into my flesh
Like a manifesto of their misdeeds against me
Neatly arranged in razor-straight lines along my leg
I don lash out at the villains, only the victim, because it was always my fault.
