school of lessons
I looked into
eyes,
darkened
to bruises
and
being thrown
as you
go blind
to concussion.
Being thrown
and strangled
by no
a stranger
but
he never knew
why
so
mischievous
your pockets.
Slapped
across
the face
for
marking
with
the wrong pen...
I made friends
with this devil
and stubborn-ed
his abuse
into the full
of witness abuse
As a child,
I never knew,
but I did
and grew...
once no obtuse.....
I used a charm
of reverse
psychology
of his anger
in the skies,
I mellowed
like ice cream
of cones......
