When does a man become a monster?

Is it when he kills or fights for others

Or is it when the motives change

When he becomes selfish

When it’s all about him

And Vengeance is the game

When blood runs cold instead of hot

When does a man become a monster?...

I am just a man so

I had to throw a baby of a tower

I had to sacrifice my crew to the gods

I had to sleep with goddess

When it wasn’t my choice

I had to do everything in pain

To get back home to my son and wife

I am just a man

I am a warrior of the mind

Or Thats what they say

Cause I helped in the war

I am just a man

I will sacrifice my crew

To get home

Kill all the way

It’s going to b...

Another day,

Another life,

I would say

To myself

As I grabbed my knife.

The people I kill,

They’re human trash,

If you will.

In a way,

I guess you could say

I’m doing the world a favor.

Taking out the trash

On a grand scale.

But after all I’ve done,

One question plagues my mind,

The answer to which

I seek to find.

The question is…

When does a man become a monster?...

When does a man become a monster?

I was told to look out for the men that prowled through the streets at night, snatching young children from their beds. I was told they would be disfigured, easily distinguishable from you and I. They would growl and snarl and hiss, too inhumane to communicate.

Lately I have been feeling something wrong, something Other, inside of me. I am still me, I walk and...

You seemed to find a sick satisfaction in crossing lines.

You loved sprinting past them.

You loved making me draw new ones.

For the purpose of ignoring them.

You also loved manipulation.

Loved keeping me as your pet,

As the kitten you found in a wet cardboard box.

You kept me even as you found the pure-bred dogs.

You ran past the lines I so carefully drew,

Every single time.

Every day you someho...

They say that everyone’s good inside

But is that really true

I look at the mirror and ask myself

Have I done anything wrong?

I try to think

But my inner voice screams no

I can’t let it go

When does a man become a monster?...

“Man or monster?”

Read the sign in huge blocky letters,

All of the lights in my brain rang to walk away,

But I knew I had to see the grotesque scene,

I sat in the circle-shaped tent alone waiting while my leg bobbed up and down in anticipation,

My mind began to wonder what he would act like, would he diminish himself solely for this show?

Was he always acting in this manner?

“INTRODUCING!!!!...

Hey, younger me

What have you done?

You grew up so fast

You shone like the sun

Hey, younger me

Where did you go?

You never came back

From the first fall of snow

Hey, younger me

Please come back soon

I miss our old days

Nights lit by the moon

Hey, younger me

You’d hate what I’ve become

I’m sorry- I’m sorry-

Do you see our blood run?

Hey, younger me

Im scared without you

The ...

The floor falls toward me

I try to block the fall

But I fail

My head hits the table.

I try to stand up

My legs fall away.

He laughs,

I hear a scream.

My close cropped hair,

Scar freckled body,

Overgrown muscles,

Various tattoos

I match him.

He also has scars

And muscles

And tattoos

The difference is,

It’s his foot

And my ribs

It’s not his pain.

The problem is, I don’t know,

Yet I ask a thous...

When does a man become a monster?

A man that hurts you with his words

With his hands

Roams free

A man your afraid of

A man that cheats

Is still human

A man that leaves bruises

A man that makes you feel your worst

Moves on like normal

He is not a monster to everybody

So when does a man become a monster?...
