Before Puberty Toward Maturity

I was abused before puberty, But I did my share of abusing. And I was bruised before puberty, But have spent some time bruising. I was used as an adolescent, Yet threw some out with the using. I was infused as a adolescent, But my words are said "too infusing". I was confused as a new student; Now I am labeled as "confusing". I was a diffused college graduate, But now I am thought to be diffusing. I was accused as a married man; Yet, I, admit I was so accusing. I was refused as a separate man, But I have not gone on refusing.
