My Very First Lie by Hashon Fish

My Very First Lie


I am a criminal mastermind
and I could destroy 5 states at one time.
Yeah, I went to Las Vegas to do business with an old friend.

I lied when I said I killed my first person in 5th grade.
I get back to my angry-evil self if you hit me,
and I get that from my father.
He gets mad when things don’t go his way.
It doesn’t matter anyway.
Yeah, he gets mad when things don’t go his way.

But, I remember how the eyes of heaven looked on me,
how the blood from the skull and bones,
stuck out of his body,
twisted around me.

I used to have anger.
I went to therapy,
took pills.
To make the anger go away.

If you knew my real story, it is so much better than this one.
