| I’m on my own now.
My father said I’m 18 and it’s time I become a man. If my family had not put a curse on me, I would not be such a loser. I can’t wait to find a woman to make sweet love to. I have her pregnancy in my penis. I would stick around and be a good father too. I would not be like my dad, who gave up on me because I am so messed up. Perhaps I should have played football instead of getting high on crystal meth and coke. I would like to work at Taco Bell . You don’t need to have a high IQ to work there. I could be the guy who stuffs the meat in the tacos or the guy who slices the tomatoes. I am handy with the knife. |
