Megan Fox's poems from 'Pretty Boys Are Poisonous' sparks concerns
User bjack20 recently took to Reddit's r/popculturechat forum to share some poems from 'Pretty Boys Are Poisonous', which has left Megan Fox's fans concerned.
In one poem, Fox described an unnamed individual as a "violent boy" filled with "rage and insecurities," recounting how he used his hands to hurt her.
The poem ends with the haunting line, "I wonder what you are thinking while I cry and beg you to stop."
Though Fox doesn't explicitly reference herself, she revealed the emotional toll, writing, "Mornings after you would hurt me I would wake up and make your coffee, put on a sweatshirt so you wouldn't have to look at the bruises you left."
She continued, "Your parents abandoned you, no one ever taught you not to.....its just because you love me so much. You don't know how to control all the passion you feel."
In another poem, the 'Transformers' star reflected on the bleak reality of love. "I am realizing that this fairy tale will not have a happily ever after instead it will end prematurely with one of us reading a eulogy," the 38-year-old wrote.
In an August 2024 interview, Fox talked about the inspiration behind her poetry. "These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that has taken root in me because of my silence," she shared, as per Unilad.
"I've spent my entire life carrying the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the secrets of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and identity by using their voice to illuminate what's been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness," Fox added.
Fox and Kelly, who are currently expecting their first child together, reportedly ended their on-again-off-again relationship in November 2024 over the Thanksgiving weekend.
