A poem by me for school
Villain
Ever wonder where I come from?
Hiding in the darkness, laughing
Ever tried to destroy me…
Only to realize nothing can?
I am a virus slithering inside
I run thicker than blood in your veins
Everyone knows I am wicked
I push the innocent off the edge
I blend in with crowds, plotting
Just waiting for one fatal mistake
I whisper sweet nothings into your dreams
And turn them into nightmares
You fear that I will turn the key
And unlock the gate to your inhibitions
You get lost easily in moments
Where you wallow in your weakness
Forgetting that you are my prey
Ever wonder how strong I am?
Though you turn from me to run
My power over you turns you to stone
The villain of your mind takes over
Ever wonder where I am?
Look in the mirror, I am there inside
Feel me as I pull you down
Those who have seen my face
Draw back in fear and terror
You are the mask I wear
But it’s me they hear
My voice fills you with a strange sweetness
Yet my words are vile and cruel
Always hoping to tear you apart
I laugh as you cower and cry
For in the end denial gets you nowhere
I always come out victorious
Why bother trying to fight me?
Ever wonder why you need me?
You cling to your troubles and despair
As a dying man reaches for the light
Ever wonder what I fear?
What makes me writhe in agony?
I will give you clues to my demise
Fully knowing you will never use them
For you use me as an excuse
You cover up your poor decisions
We need each other to survive
So I do not fear that you will demolish me
Love to me is poison, too sweet for my tongue
Honesty is like a knife, I want to gouge out my eyes
But anger is the fan to my flames
Deceit the salve to soothe my burns
Ever wonder what makes me smile?
This will surprise you I’m sure
For what I secretly treasure most
is the beauty of youthful innocence
The young are naïve and trusting
They are my clay ready for molding
Ever wonder what my name is?
Although I must confess I have many
Some call me evil, other a demon
But am I truly the monster hidden inside?
In each soul there is darkness
This is where my seeds are sewn
Seven deadly sins help me grow
I am an unstoppable force
And I come from all of you
Ever wonder who is the villain?
Who is to blame for all injustice?
Just look at your face in the mirror
And there you will find me,
The villain in your mind
