This piece is a haunting mantra of realization and reckoning. Repeating like a trauma loop, the lines trace a journey from childhood innocence to adult clarity, where the monsters aren’t just imagined—they’re familiar. “Some wear my father’s face” is a devastating revelation, suggesting betrayal, fear, and the painful inheritance of violence or emotional damage. It’s minimalist but emotionally loaded, a lyrical scar that speaks volumes in its repetition. A powerful meditation on memory, identity, and the shadows cast by those meant to protect.
