To the man who stole my childhood,

I’m taking it back.

To the man who crept in on angel-soft steps,

You are the devil.

To the man who anesthetized my heart,

I feel joy, and I feel pain.

To the man who slithered through the darkness,

I’m turning on the light.

To the man who lied about  his love for me,

I know the truth.

To the man who hushed me with his violence,

I shout your name into the Universe.

To the man who stole our childhood,

We’re taking it back.
