Now, here's one that I'm winging. Off the top of my head. Let's hope I can do it...

I was so small, tiny, so weak.
I remember that you kissed me,
Wiped away the tears on my cheek.
You loved me for just being me,
when no one else would.
I remember you made me
believe I was able, I could
do anything.

But, then, as if by fate,
you were gone from my life.
faster than I could contemplate.
Something snapped inside,
Somehow, I shattered my sanity.
I became a monster, something
to be feared grew inside of me.

Now, I think I've changed.
There's something new. Hope,
one would assume, if I've played
the game right, if I can grow it.
So, if I was weak then, and I became
a monster then...

What am I today?
