Monster
I have a question…
for all the boys who make girls suffer beyond their imagination:
Was
it
worth
it?
Is
it
worth
it?
Was it worth those moments
where you were just an ounce cooler
in front of your friends—if that?
Was it worth those moments
where you felt powerful
as you watched
or heard
us break down and cry?
Was it worth those moments
where you felt more masculine
just because you had a loaded reputation?
Was it worth those moments
where you were responsible
for the steady collapse of a poor girl's self esteem?
Was it worth those moments
where you were aware
of the mistakes you were making…
and it felt good?
And you don't even know…
And you don't even realize…
that you are the reason
why we sit up in bed late at night
and wonder—why?
And sadly for you
it isn't even for the reason you'd like to believe it is?
All you do.
All you say.
All you think.
What does it do?
It
Exposes your fear of commitment
Advertises your lack of respect
Increases your immaturity
Vocalizes your hunger for power
Pushes us farther away
And after all that
was it worth
being able to say that you got around?
Was it worth knowing that no girl
thinks of you as anything but a monster?
Is it worth watching yourself become one?
And my final question:
Is it worth having to live with yourself
when you realize that you are beyond forgiveness?

I watch other people who deal with this every day, search through the people around me and expose the monsters--even if other people fail to see it.
