BOYS TOO WERE RAPED
 This city knows how to weigh down one's pride
it swallows our lives before we learn how to smile
so, pain is the first and last thing a boy wears.
Say, smiles aren't suitable for masculine visages
Perhaps this fallacy is just a silent murderer.
In tonight's verse, my pen dedicates it's tears
to a thousand boys who saw their first orgasm
almost at the point of death as they wailed
at the top of their voices, trying to flee from
the randiness of an opposite gender.
The first time my eyes saw a girl's nakedness
was at sixteen, when my body became an altar
for a forceful ritual of iniquity by a girl;
one who was twice the size of my entire body.
My story leaves many drops of water in my eyes 
yet I dare not to share it with anyone
cause a story like this is expected never from me,
I am only seen as a culprit but not a victim
so I fold my hurtful tales into the depths of my soul
and let them stay forever, but out of the audience 
cause such a memoir is a humiliation to my kind.
