Myself in Writing

I was born to a mother who works hard to teach me the way i am supposed to be. My father is the reason i act so old-fashioned, more like in spite of that man. He hurt me and my family and to me he is a monster. He went behind my mother's back with another woman, whom he left her for. So ever since i have read about men that treat women as if they were gold, and in the end they found love that all men want from a woman. Well for so long i've acted according to these codes of conduct and yet all i have to show for it is a broken heart. So why am i the monster of today? I care about my friends and family, and i guide and protect them as well as i can. What i am is someone that i thought a man should be, not the heathens that call themselves men today.
For so long women look at me with fear. They take one look into my eyes and they avert theirs and find the nearest guy to cling to. So what am i, a demon, a killer, or just an empty soul devoid of feeling

perhaps they know about what happened to your family and they just don't know how to deal with it.i don't see how you could be considered a heathen unless you're going against the church...your friends have to accept you for who you are, and don't chase them away by being a monster. they care for you and they need you too. high drama. excellent poem.

i don't find any schmaltz in this...actually i see that you have been misunderstood probably because your parents split up when you needed them both. this gave you the lesson that relationships are always like this but they are not. i don;t see any evidence that you are a monster, but that you are responsible and know better. great job.

If you fill yourself with anger and spite..you cannot evolve. It's good to pen these feelings...it will consume you otherwise.

I admire you my friend, honestly. You're one strong spirit, one who thinks further, and a one who dare to fail, and to pick up all beauty next to it. This write is sad, and truly painful, but it's the strength within you that sparkles, and shall be honored. I respect your visions, and thoughts, to protect the fragile women. They are the mothers, and women, where every one was nated off. Lately people forget, how important that thought is. You're no demon, nor a killer, you're you, and a beautiful one.

It's very emotion-based. It's quite moving. I wonder if it would work in verses. It reads like prose, not poetry. It's very inspiring. Lol. You seem to do that a lot to me lately.
