When
They ripped my heart out
to find evidence for the crime
I committed in my brain,
When
They tortured my skin while
my eyes were fooling them with tears,
When
They popped my eyes out
unaware of the billion left behind eyes,
When
They pulled my nails off
to get hold of the empire I created,
When
They broke my bones apart
for having the masculinity they lacked,
When
They chopped me into pieces
for sewing the notions of injustice,

(They laughed until I started gluing myself up)

No they didn't leave me or destroy me again,
instead they started Watering me,
they weakened my Adhesive forces,
and there I realized :
"To be brave,
You gotta be an Agave!"
