The Circumstances Within One's Control


He used beat me down so small

Everyday however, I choose not to brawl. 

He used to say, 

"I am Hurricain, you shall fear me everyday"

But now to this day, he looks so small

as I once plucked him with my awl.

 

He would see me in the halls 

And my face would go as white as a dolls.

He would push me down

And laugh at me like I was a clown

 He would take me to the toilet, and push my head down

As his ghouls laugh as I drown

 

He would move water and dirt

Just to burn me and force me to abort.

I melted away everyday until I learned,

No matter what, I would not burn.

I built myself up to the point of no destruction,

So that he could no longer cause any ruction.

 

I made my body so strong

That one day, I could smoke him like a bong.

As I got stronger and stronger

I lasted longer and longer. 

Until the last day where I 

 For once was the one to make him cry.

 

You see, I put laid him no harm

Instead I made him look like a chicken on my farm.

I gave him no satisfaction

And I found my traction.

So from that day on

I stood like a king, sitting so brawn.
