You sit there and mock me.

You abuse me,

And laugh at my pain.

Your sadistic smiles,

And your cutting words,

You are all so satisfied with what you are doing,

What you have become.

No one is safe,

The rumors spread like wildfire at your own hands,

You bring everyone down,

All are your enemies;

You even lie to your allies.

You use sweet words,

And change your ways,

Only to make them trust you again.

As soon as you have them in your clutches,

You destroy every fiber of their being.

Everything they knew becomes shattered.

Just to get what you want,

Just to feel in control.

So insecure in yourself,

You wrong others,

And mock their weaknesses.

You do not know what the word ‘friend’ means,

You never had any,

You proved untrustworthy.

Why do you do this?

It seems you enjoy causing pain and misery,

You want them to suffer.

The feelings of others are as worthless as dust.

Is it so hard to love?

Or is hate all you know?

Your demons destroy and hurt,

You are already in their power,

And you live in darkness.

Will you ever let someone close enough to show you the light?

Or will you scare them away,

Afraid of what you’ll find after so many years of torment?

Whispers behind my back,

More like knives than words,

Cutting deep into the soul.

As if one victim’s pain isn’t enough,

You cause all the destruction you can.

The innocent and the weak,

Those who are still trying to repair,

You think nothing of them all.

They are just another obstacle in your way,

They must be cut down and left to fall with the rest,

They must suffer like you do.

You watch them collapse,

And take pride in yourself.

This was the work of your own hands,

In your mind,

You defeated them.

Why does this make you happy?

To see someone who is less powerful than you,

To break their heart yourself.

When you are finished,

You walk away feeling better about yourself,

While the other is bleeding from their soul,

And no one notices them,

Too caught up in their own struggles.

You are monsters,

With mocking laughter instead of claws,

And words instead of sharp teeth.

You have done this for so long,

Is there still time to turn back?

Or will you walk this hateful road forever?

Don’t you realize this world is bad enough?

Or are you oblivious to everything and everyone but yourself?

Would you prefer everyone to fall and never rise…

As long as you are in the lead?
